Answer» Formula: Average = (Sum of observation)/(No of observation) Given that, b is twice of a and thrice of c so, largest number is b. Also, the average of the three NUMBERS is 44, then b = 2a ⇒ a = ½ b b = 3c ⇒ c = b/3 And average of a, b, c = (a + b + c)/3 = 44----(1) PUTTING the value of a and c in this equation, we get Average of a, b, c = $(\FRAC{{\frac{b}{2} + b + \frac{b}{3}}}{3} = 44)$ $(\Rightarrow \frac{{11b}}{{18}} = 44)$ $(\Rightarrow {\rm{b}} = \frac{{44 \times 18}}{{11}} = 72)$ |
