1.	Three numbers are in the ratio 2: 3: 5 and the sum of these numbers is 800. Find the numbers.
Answer» Given that three numbers are in the ratio 2: 3: 5 and sum of them is 800 Therefore sum of the terms of the ratio = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 First number = (2/10) × 800 = 2 × 80 = 160 Second number = (3/10) × 800 = 3 × 80 = 240 Third number = (5/10) × 800 = 5 × 80 = 400 The three numbers are 160, 240 and 400

Answer»

Given that three numbers are in the ratio 2: 3: 5 and sum of them is 800

Therefore sum of the terms of the ratio = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10

First number = (2/10) × 800

= 2 × 80

= 160

Second number = (3/10) × 800

= 3 × 80

= 240

Third number = (5/10) × 800

= 5 × 80

= 400

The three numbers are 160, 240 and 400
