Sum of three number is=88*3=264
Let three numbers are a, b,c and a is the highest and c is the lowest
Then,
2b=a so b=a/2 and 3c=a so c=a/3
we can write,
a+b+c=264
a+a/2+a/3=264
11a/6=264
a=144
So, c=144/3=48
So there difference is=144-48
=96
So, option 5)96 is the right answer

Let the 3 numbers be a, b and c.
Now, a = 2b = 3c.
So their average can be expressed as:
(2b + b + c) / 3 = 88.
or, 3b + c = 264.
We know that 2b - 3c = 0, from the given condition.
Solving the equations we get b = 72.
So, a = 2b = 144 and c = a / 3 = 48.
Therefore, a - c = 144 - 48 = 96.
