    last two numbers is 80 and 60, respectively then find the fifth number given that ratio of fifth and sixth number is 7:5, respectively.

    C 175 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let fifth and sixth numbers be ‘7x’ and ‘5x’, respectively. So, 7x + 5x = 80 × 8 – 60 × 7 – 50 × 5 = 300 Or, 12x = 300 Or, x = 25 So, fifth number = 25 × 7 = 175
