      smallest number to largest number is 1:5, and that of smallest number to second smallest number is 1:3, then find the largest number.
      A 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the smallest number be 'x' So, second smallest number = 3x And largest number = x × 5 = 5x ATQ: 3x + 5x + x = 99 Or,
      9x = 99 So,
      x = 11 So, largest number = 11 × 5 = 55
