6) 292 Kg
7) 187 Kg
8) 176 Kg
9) 24 Kg
460 Kg

Solution

[Amount of (C)/9] = [Amount of (A + B + C)/24]
99/9 = x/24
11*24 = x
x = 264

9x=99...x=11
total weight=(7+8+9)*x=24*11=264

Let the amount of A, B and C is 7x, 8x and 9x respectively.
Then, 9x/(7x+8x+9x)=99
or, 9x/24x=99
or 9/24-th of the total amount is 99
So, the total amount of the mixture= (24/9)*99= 264 kg.....Option 3)

A:7
B:8
C:9

and Value C = 99
so A=77, B=88, C=99
Mixture = 77+88+99 = 256 Answer
