There numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. If their sum of cube is 33957. Find the numbers.
Let the unknown number be x
The ratio becomes 2x:3x:4x
(2x)³+(3x)³+(4x)³=33957
8x³+27x³+64x³=33957
99x³=33957
x³=33957/99
x³=343
x=cube root 343
x=7
2x=2×7=14
3x=3×7=21
4x=4×7=28

Appropriate Question :
Three numbers are in the ratio 2:3:4. If the sum of their cube is 33957. Find the numbers.
➣ The ratio of the Three numbers = 2:3:4
➣ The Sum of the their cubes = 33957
➣ The three Numbers
➪ Let, the First number = 2x
➪ Let, the Second number = 3x
➪ Let, the third number = 4x
➤ It is Given that the sum of the cubes of 2x + 3x + 4x = 33957
⇒(2x)³ + (3x)³ + (4x)³ = 33957
⇒8x³ + 27x³ + 64x³ = 33957
⇒99x³ = 33957
⇒x³ =
⇒x³ = 343
⇒x =
⇒x = 7
The first number = 2x = 2 × 7 = 14
The second number = 3x = 3 × 7 = 21
The third number = 4x = 4 × 7 = 28
