Let the 1stno. A = X
2nd no.= B , 3rd no.= C , 4th no. = D
A: B =2:3
A/B = 2/3
x/B =2/3
B= 3x/2
B:C=5:6
(3x/2)/ C= 5/6
C=( 6×3x)/2×5= 9x/5
C= 9x/5
C:D= 8:9
9x/5/ D = 8/9
D= (9x×9)/8×5= 81x/40
D= 81x/40
A+B+C+D= 253. (GIVEN)
x+ 3x/2+9x/5+81x/40
Lcm = 40
(40x+ 60x+ 72x+81x)/40= 253
253x= 253×40
X= (253×40)/253= 40
Ist no.(A)= X= 40
2no.(B)= 3x/2=( 3 × 40)/2= 60
3rd no.(C)= 9x/5 = (9×40)/5= 72
4th no.(D)= 81x/40=( 81×40/)/40= 81
_____________________________
Average of numbers= sum of observations/ total no. Of observations
Average of 2nd no. & 3rd no.= (60+72)/2= 132/2= 66
_____________________________
Average of 2nd no. & 3rd no.=66
