A) 130
B) 140
C) 150
D) 120
E) None of these

Answer 1

None of these I think so it is not there

Answer 2

Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we  have given that

Ratio of first and second = 2:3

Ratio of second and third = 5 : 3

So, According to question,

First  :  Second   : Third

2      :      3          

               5          :    3

------------------------------------------------

10     :      15         :   9

Sum of three numbers = 272

So, the second number is given by

$\dfrac{15}{34}\times 272\\\\=15\times 8\\\\=120$

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
