there are three numbers in the ratio 3:4:5 respectively.If the sum of first and third number is more than the second number by 52.Then which will be the greatest number

• let numbers are 3x,4x,5x
  given 3x+5x=4x+52
  or 4x=52
  so x=13
  numbers are 39,52,65
  ans 65(third)

• three nos. 3x,4x,5x
  sum of first and third=> 3x + 5x = 4x + 52
  => 8x-4x=52
  => 4x=52
  => x=13
  nw greatest no= 5x=5*13=65

  3x+5x=4x+52
  4x=52

  Largest number=65
