The sum of three numbers is 100. The ratio of the first number to the second number is 4: 9 and the ratio of the second to the third number is 3: 4. Find the second number.
A36
B24
C30
D28
Answer:
A. 36
Read Explanation:
Let there are three numbers A, B and C, then
A : B = 4 : 9 ---(1)
B : C = 3 : 4 ---(2)
Multiply by 3 in equation (2)
A : B : C=4 : 9 : 12
Sum of three numbers are = 100 , then
B = 100(9/25) = 36
So, the second number is 36.
