Of the three numbers, second is one-third of first and is also three-fourth of the third number. If the average of three numbers is 112, then what is the smallest number? |
63 45 84 189 |
63 |
Sum of three numbers = 112 x 3 = 336 Lets assume 2nd number be 3a Given, 1st number x \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 3a ⇒ 1st number = 9a 3rd number x \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 3a ⇒ 3rd number = 4a Now, 9a + 3a + 4a = 336 ⇒ a = 21 Smallest among three = 3 x 21 = 63
