Answer 1

Question Given :

• three numbers the ratio 2:5:7 and the average 20 find the smallest number?

Required Solution :

Value given to us :

• three numbers the ratio 2:5:7

Assumptions :

• Let the Number be 2x , 5x , 7x

According to Question :

20 = [ 2x + 5x + 7x ] / 3

• 20 × 3 = 14x

• 60 = 14x

• x = 60/ 14

• x = 4 [ Approximately ]

Putting Value at place of x :

• First Number = 3 × 4 = 12

• Second Number = 5 × 4 = 20

• Third Number = 6 × 4 = 24

Hence :

.°. Smallest Number is 12
