  • Question
  • The average of X, Y, Z is 24. Also, X:Y = 2:3 and X+Y = 60, then find the value of (X-Z)?


  • Options
  • A. 9
  • B. 10
  • C. 11
  • D. 12

  • Correct Answer
  • 12 

    Explanation

    X+Y+Z = 24*3 = 72 X:Y = 2:3 (Given)
    Let ?X? to be 2a & ?Y? to be 3a
    X+Y = 60 (Given)
    2a+3a = 60
    5a = 60
    a = 12
    Hence, X = 24 & Y = 36
    From equation (1)...
    Z = 72 - 60
    Z = 12
    Hence, X - Z = 24-12 = 12.
