Question
The sum of three numbers is 98. If the ratio of the first to the second is 2 : 3 and that of the second to the third is 5 : 8, then the second number is :__________?
Answer: Option B
LET THE THREE PARTS BE A, B, C THEN,
A : B = 2 : 3 AND B : C = 5 : 8 (5 X 3/5 ) : (8 X 3/5 ) = 3 : 24/5
A:B:C= 2 : 3 : 24/5 10:15:24
B = (98 X 15/49 ) = 30.
