given,
ratio of heights of plants = 2:3:5 = 2x:3x:5x
Mean of heights of three plants = 30cm
=>2x+3x+5x/3=30
=>10x=90
=>x=90/10=9cm
Height of A plant = 2x = 2×8 = 18cm
Height of B plant = 3×9 = 27cm
Height of C plant = 5×9 = 45cm
let the height of D plant be y
but given,
mean of four plants = 33cm
=>17+27+45+y/4 = 33
=>90+y/4 = 33
=>90+y = 132
=>y = 132- 90 = 42cm
The height of the D plant is 42cm
