Question

Three numbers are in the ratio $2:3:5$ and the sum of these numbers is $800.$ Find the numbers.

Answer 1

We have

Sum of the terms of the ratio $=2+3+5=10.$

Sum of these numbers $=800.$

Therefore, first number $=\frac{2}{10}\times 800=160$

or, Second number $=\frac{3}{10}\times 800=240$

or, Third number $=\frac{5}{10}\times 800=400$
