Download Solution PDFGiven:
Three numbers are in the ratio = 13∶15∶17
3 × 3rd number - (1st number + 2nd number) = 529
Calculation:
Let the 3rd number be 17x then,
⇒ 3 × 17x - (13x + 15x) = 529
⇒ 51x - 28x = 529
⇒ 23x = 529
⇒ x = 23
The difference between the first and third number = 17x - 13x = 4x = 4 × 23 = 92
