Question

If three numbers are in ratio of 2:3:5 and the sum of the numbers is 342. Find the middle number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given three no's are in the ratio 2:3:5

Let 1st no =2x

2nd no =3x

3rd no =5x

Sum = 800

2x+3x+5x=800

10x=800⇒x=80

1st no. =2x⇒2×80=160

2nd no. =3x⇒3×80=240

3rd no. =5x⇒5×80=400
