- Answer : c)48
Solution :
Difference between the two numbers ratio wise is 1
Sum of the two numbers ratio wise is 7
Products of the two numbers ratio wise is 24.
i.e 1:7:24
Choice b) and d) cannot be the answer because product has to be ratio wise 24.
It is case a) or c)
For product to be 24 it has to be 4 and 6. But their sum is 10 and difference is 6
So 2:10:24 simplifying also it comes 1:5:12. This cannot be the answer.
For product to be 48 – numbers can be 6 and 8.
Sum – 14
Product – 48 So difference:sum:product = 2:14:48 = 1: 7: 24 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
