Practicing Success
A,B, C and D are four positive numbers such that A is $\frac{3}{4}$ times of B, B is $\frac{4}{5}$ times of C, and C is $\frac{3}{8}$ times of D. If the average of 4 times of A and 7 times of D is 316, then the average of all the four numbers A, B, C and D is: |
36 38 28 34 |
38 |
A : B : C : D 3 : 4 : 4 : 5 : : 3 : 8 9 : 12 : 15 : 40 ⇒ According to the question, The average of 4 times of A and 7 times of D is 316, ⇒ \(\frac{4(9) + 7(40)}{2}\)x = 316 ⇒ \(\frac{316}{2}\)x = 316 ⇒ x = 2, The average of all the four numbers A, B, C and D, ⇒ \(\frac{9+12+15+40}{4}\) = \(\frac{76}{4}\) = 19x = 19 x 2 = 38. |
