    Question

    Three values P, Q, and R are such that P is one-third of Q

    and R is the average of P and Q. If the total of all three values is 588, find the second largest value among them.
    A 157 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 126 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 196 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 105 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let the value of Q be 3x

    So, value of P = 3x/3 = x

    So, value of R = (x + 3x)/2 = 4x/2 = 2x

    ATQ:

    x + 3x + 2x = 588

    Or, 6x = 588

    Or, x = 98

    So, the second highest number = R = 2x = 2 × 98 = 196
