Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 33

Given:

The ratio of three numbers = 5 ∶ 9 ∶ 11

The second number is greater than the average of first and third number by 3

Concept used:

Average = (Total sum)/(Total numbers)

Calculations:

Let the numbers be 5x, 9x, and 11x respectively

Average of first and third number = (5x + 11x)/2 = 8x

According to question

⇒ 9x = 8x + 3

⇒ x = 3

The largest number = 11x

⇒ 11 × 3 = 33

∴ The largest number is 33
