260 kg rice is divided in three parts such that the first part is 5 kg more than the second part and its ratio with the third part is 1 : 3. The three parts (in kg) respectively are: |
53, 48, 159 53, 149, 58 53, 49, 158 52, 47, 161 |
53, 48, 159 |
Let us conside that , First part has = ( x + 5 )kg 2nd part has = x kg And ratio of first to third part is 1 : 3 So, Third part is = 3 (x + 5 ) kg According to question, x+(x+5)+3(x+5)=260 5x + 20 = 260 5x=240 x=48 So, First part is = ( 48 + 5 ) kg = 53 kg , Second part is = 48 kg Third part is = 3 ( 48 + 5 ) kg = 159 kg Ans :- (A) 53 , 48 , 159 |
