Question

    If (x + y + z) = 68, (x/z) = (3/4) and (z/y) = (2/5),

    then find the value of ‘y’.
    A 52 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let x = 3a So, z = 4a And, y = (5/2) × 4a = 10a Since, x + y + z = 68 So, 3a + 10a + 4a = 68 Or, 17a = 68 Or, a = 4 So, y = 10a = 10 × 4 = 40
