Question:

The average height of three kids is 56 cm and their heights are in the proportion of 7 : 8 : 9. Find the heights of all the three.

Options:

42 cm, 48 cm, 54 cm

56 cm, 64 cm, 72 cm

35 cm, 40 cm, 45 cm

49 cm, 56 cm, 63 cm

Correct Answer:

49 cm, 56 cm, 63 cm

Explanation:

Let's assume height of kids are 7x, 8x & 9x

So, 7x + 8x + 9x = 3 x 56

      24x = 56 x3

         x = 7

Accordingly, height of kids are 49, 56 & 63.
