Question

new numbers becomes twice that I
Three numbers are in the ratio 2.3.4. If the sum of the largest and the smallest equals the
sum of the third and 33, find the numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be 2x, 3x, and 4x. It is given

2x+4x=3x+33

6x-3x=33

3x=33

x=33/3=11

So the numbers are

2×11, 3×11 and 4×11

22, 33 and 44

Remember when ever ratio is given, there is one unknown number (in the present case it is x) whose value has to be found out.
