      The sum of three numbers is 144. If the ratio of

      smallest number to largest number is 1:8, and that of smallest number to second smallest number is 1:3, then find the largest number.
      A 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 88 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 104 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the smallest number be 'x' So, second smallest number = 3x And largest number = x Γ— 8 = 8x ATQ: 3x + 8x + x = 144 Or,
      12x = 144 So,
      x = 12 So, largest number = 12 Γ— 8 = 96
