Out of the three numbers, the first is twice the second and three times the third. the average of the three numbers is 88. the smallest number is ??.

• Answer is 48
  solution:-
  let say no are A,B,C
  A=2B=3C ...............(1)
  and (A+B+C)/3=88 given
  so, (2B+B+2B/3)/3=88
  so,B=72
  therefore after putting values in eq 1
  we get A=144 ,B=72 ,C=48
  so the smallest no is 48 ans.

• x:y:z=10:15:24
  10x+15x+24x=98
  x=2
  therefore 2nd number=15*2=30
