Description : Of the 5 numbers, the first is twice the second, the second is one – third of the third, the third is 5 times of the fourth, and the fourth is three – seventh of fifth. The average of the numbers is 35. The largest of these number is. A) 30.63 B) 65.625 C) 43.75 D) 75.356

Last Answer : B) Let the fifth number be x'. 4th number = 3/7 x 3rd number = 5 (3/7 x) = 15/7x 2nd number = 1/3 (15/7 x) = 15 /21 x 1st number = 2 (15/21 x) = 30/21 x X + 3/7 x + 15 /7 ... 120x = 3675 X = 30.625 So the numbers are 30.62, 13.125, 65.625, 21.875, 43.75. Therefore largest number is 65.625.

The ratio between two number is 3:4 ,if each number be increased by 9, the ratio becomes 18:23 find the sum of the number a) 135 b) 105 c) 155 d) 165 e) None of these

Description : The ratio between two number is 3:4 ,if each number be increased by 9, the ratio becomes 18:23 find the sum of the number a) 135 b) 105 c) 155 d) 165 e) None of these

Last Answer : Let the two numbers be 3x and 4x. When they are increased by 9 they become 3x + 9 and 4x + 9. It is given that the ratio is 18:23 Thus, 3x + 9/4x + 9 = 18:23 23(3x + 9) = 18(4x + 9) 69x + 207 = 72x ... = -45 X = 15 Thus two numbers are 3x15 = 45 and 4 x 15 = 60 And the sum is 60+45 = 105 Answer: b)
