    D 115 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 113 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the three numbers be a, b and c respectively. According to question; (a + b + 2c) = 200 × 2 = 400……………..(1) (a + 2b + c) = 250 × 2 = 500……………..(2) (2a + b + c) = 300 × 2 = 600……………..(3) From equation (1), (2) and (3) 4 × (a + b + c) = 1500 a + b + c = 375 (a + b + c)/3 = 125
