Solution

The three numbers are in the ratio $2 : 3 : 5$ and the sum of them is $800$ .
$S u m o f t h e t e r m s o f t h e r a t i o = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10$
$F i r s t n u m b e r = (2 / 10) \times 800 = 2 \times 80 = 160$
$S e c o n d n u m b e r = (3 / 10) \times 800 = 3 \times 80 = 240$
$T h i r d n u m b e r = (5 / 10) \times 800 = 5 \times 80 = 400$
The three numbers are $160, 240 a n d 400 .$
