Question

Of the three numbers second is twice the first and is also thrice the third, if the average of three numbers is 44 the largest number is ?

• A. 72
• B. 108
• C. 24
• D. 36

Answer 1

The correct option is D 36

Let the 3 numbers be A, B and C
B = 2A = 3C
$=\Rightarrow A=\frac{B}{2}andC=\frac{B}{3}$
Also, $=\frac{A+B+C}{3}=44$
$=\Rightarrow \frac{B}{2}+B+\frac{B}{3}=44\times 3=132$
$=\Rightarrow B=132\times \frac{3}{11}=36$
