Options:
A . 25
B . 30
C . 35
D . 28
Answer: Option C $$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let the 3 numbers be }}x,y,\& \,\,z \cr & {\text{According to question}} \cr & x + y = 55 \to y = 55 - x \cr & y + z = 65 \to 55 - x + z = 65 \cr & z - x = 10.....(i) \cr & z + 3x = 110.....(ii) \cr & {\text{Solve (i)}}\,{\text{and (ii)}} \cr & {\bf{z = 35,}} \cr & x = 25, \cr & y = 30 \cr} $$
