X:Y:Z = 5a:8a:7a
production of Y is more than that of X by 1350 ton
so, 8a = 5a +1350
8a - 5a = 1350
3a = 1350
a = 1350/3
a = 450
production of X is 5a = 5*450 = 2250
production of Y is 8a = 8*450 = 3600
production of Z is 7a = 7*450 = 3150
so total production is 2250+3600+3150 = 9000
production of Y is more than that of X by 1350 ton
so, 8a = 5a +1350
8a - 5a = 1350
3a = 1350
a = 1350/3
a = 450
production of X is 5a = 5*450 = 2250
production of Y is 8a = 8*450 = 3600
production of Z is 7a = 7*450 = 3150
so total production is 2250+3600+3150 = 9000
