Question

Divide 910 into three parts in such a way that one-third of the first part, one-fifth of the second part and one-sixth of the third part are equal. Then, the second part is

• A. 195
• B. 325
• C. 210
• D. 390

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 325

(1/3) × A = (1/5) × B = (1/6) × C = x A = 3x, B = 5x C = 6x A + B + C = 910 ⇒ 3x + 5x + 6x = 910 ⇒ 14x = 910 ⇒ x = 65 Second part = 5x = 5 × 65 ⇒ 325
