Question : 16
Of three numbers, the first is 4 times the second and 3 times the third. If the average of all the three numbers is 95, what is the third number ?
a) 130
b) 57
c) 76
d) 60
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the third number be x,
∴ First number = 3x
∴ Second number = ${3x}/4$
According to the question,
3x + ${3x}/4$ + x = 3 × 95
⇒ ${12x+3x+4x}/4$ = 285
⇒ 19x = 285 × 4
⇒ x = ${285×4}/19$ = 60
Aliter : Using Rule 15,
From three numbers, first number is 'a’ times of 2nd number, 2nd number is 'b’ times of 3rd number and the average of all three numbers is x, then,
First number = $\text"3ab"/ \text"1+b+ab"$ x ; Second number = $\text"3b"/ \text"1+b+ab"$ x ; Third number = $\text"3b"/ \text"1+b+ab"$ x
Here, a = 4, b = $3/4$, x = 95
Third Number = $3/\text"1+b+ab"$ ×x
= $3/{1+{3/4}+4×{3/4}}$×95
= ${3×4}/{4+3+12}$×95 = 60
Question : 17 [SSC CGL Prelim 2008]
Of the three numbers, second is twice the first and also thrice the third. If the average of the three numbers is 44, the largest number is :
a) 36
b) 108
c) 24
d) 72
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let third number be x.
∴ Second number = 3x
and first number = ${3x}/2$
Now, x +3x+${3x}/2$=3×44
⇒ ${8x+3x}/2$=3×44
⇒ 11x = 6 × 44
⇒ x=${6×44}/11 = 24$
∴ The largest number = 3x = 3 × 24 = 72
Question : 18
Of the three numbers, first is twice the second and second is twice the third. The average of three numbers is 21. The smallest of the three numbers is
a) 12
b) 18
c) 9
d) 6
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let the third number be x.
∴ The second number = 2x and the third number = 2 × 2x = 4x
According to the question, ${4x+2x+x}/3$ = 21
⇒ 7x = 21 × 3
⇒ x =${21×3}/7$ = 9
Aliter : Using Rule 15,
From three numbers, first number is 'a’ times of 2nd number, 2nd number is 'b’ times of 3rd number and the average of all three numbers is x, then,
First number = $\text"3ab"/ \text"1+b+ab"$ x ; Second number = $\text"3b"/ \text"1+b+ab"$ x ; Third number = $\text"3b"/ \text"1+b+ab"$ x
a = 2, b = 2, x = 21
First number = $\text"3ab"/ \text"1+b+ab"$x
= ${3×2×2}/{1+2+4}$×21
= $12/7$×21=36
Second number = $\text"3ab"/ \text"1+a+ab"$x = ${3×2}/7$×21 = 18
Third number = $3/ \text"1+a+ab"$x = $3/7$×21 = 9
