The ratio of the three numbers is 7 : 6 : 5. If the sum of all the three numbers is 324, then what is the largest number among the three numbers? Correct Answer 126

Given:

The ratio of the three numbers = 7 : 6 : 5

Sum of all three numbers = 324

Calculation:

Let the required number be 7x, 6x and 5x respectively,

According to the question,

⇒ 7x + 6x + 5x = 324

⇒ 18x = 324

⇒ x = 18

The value of 7x = 7 × 18 = 126

The value of 6x = 6 × 18 = 108

The value of 5x = 5 × 18 = 90

∴ The largest number among the three numbers is 126.
