out of 3 given numbers , the first one is twice the second and 3 times the third . if the average of these numbers is 88 , then the difference between first and third is .
sum of three number is = 88 * 3 = 264 let three numbers are a , b , c and a is the highest and c is the lowest then , 2 b = a so b = a / 2 and 3 c = a so c = a / 3 we can write , a + b + c = 264 a + a / 2 + a / 3 = 264 11 a / 6 = 264 a = 144 so , c = 144 / 3 = 48 so there difference is = 144 - 48 = 96 answer d

a boat covers a certain distance downstream in 1 hour , while it comes back in 11 ⁄ 2 hours . if the speed of the stream be 3 kmph , what is the speed of the boat in still water ?
"explanation : let the speed of the water in still water = x given that speed of the stream = 3 kmph speed downstream = ( x + 3 ) kmph speed upstream = ( x - 3 ) kmph he travels a certain distance downstream in 1 hour and come back in 11 ⁄ 2 hour . ie , distance travelled downstream in 1 hour = distance travelled upstr...
