    Solution

    ATQ, Let, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd number be x, y, and z respectively. According to the question, x + y = 90 ... (1) y + z = 110 ... (2) From equation (1) and (2) z – x = 20.... (3) z + x = 94 ... (4) On solving equation (3) and (4), we get z - x = 20.......(3) x + z = 94.......(4) Adding these two equations: 2z = 114 z= 57 Substituting z = 57 into eq.(4) x + 57 = 94 x = 37
