The sum of three numbers is 98. If the ratio of the first to the second is 2 : 3 . And that of the second to the third is 5 : 8 , then the second number is -
The sum of three numbers is 98. If the ratio of the first to the second is 2 : 3 . And that of the second to the third is 5 : 8 , then the second number is - Correct Answer 30
First : Second = 2:3 = 10 :15 Second : third = 5 :8 = 15 : 24 ∴ First : Second :third = 10 : 15 :24 ∴ Sum of ratio = 10 + 15 + 24 = 49 The Second number = 98 ×1549 = 30
