The sum of three numbers is 98 . If the ratio of the first to second is 2 :3 and that of the second to the third is 5 :8 , then the second number is - Correct Answer 30
1st : 2nd = 2 : 3 ×5 = 10:152nd : 3rd = 5 : 8×3 = 15:24.'. 1st : 2nd : 3rd = 10:15 :24sum of the ratio = 10 + 15 + 24 = 49.'. 2nd number is = 98×1549 = 30
