    last two numbers is 90 and 60, respectively then find the fifth number given that ratio of fifth and sixth number is 5:3, respectively.
    A 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let fifth and sixth numbers be ‘5x’ and ‘3x’, respectively. So, 5x + 3x = 80 × 8 – 90 × 5 – 60 × 3 = 160 Or, 8x = 160 Or, x = 20 So, fifth number = 20 × 5 = 100
