three numbers are in the ratio 2:3:5 and the sum of their squares is 152, what will be their sum ?..

Answer / naveen

let the three numbers be 2x, 3x ,5x

sum of their squares is to be 4x^2+9x^2+25^2 = 152

then, 38x^2=152

x^2=4
x=2

the sum of the numbers = 2x+3x+5x=2*2+3*2+5*2=4+6+10

=20 (ans)

Answer / jerry

ratio of three numbers is 2:3:5. First add the numbers (as
can be done with any ratio) 2+3+5=10, therefore: let y be
each ratio.

y1/10=x^2/152

y1*(152)/10 = x^2
y1*(15.2)=x^2, the same for the other three numbers in ratio

Now substitute each ratio number:
2*(15.2)=x1^2=30.4, x=(30.4)^1/2 = 5.5136195
to five sigficant digits, now the next numbers in ratio
3*(15.2)=x2=(45.6)^1/2
5*(15.2)=x3=(76)^1/2

X1=5.5136195
X2=6.7527772
X3=8.7177978

What will their sum be?:
X1+X2+X3=5.5136195+6.7527772+8.7177978= 20.9841945

X1^2+X2^2+X3^2=152
also note sum of squares:
(5.5136195)^2+(6.7527772)^2+(8.7177978)^2=152

Also note:
30.4+45.6+76=152 because these are the squares of the above
sum of squares.ex. 30.4 =(5.5136195)^2

also note:
30.4:45.6:76 is the ratio of the X's above
then division by 30.4:
1:1.5:2.5
then multiply by 2:

Answer / shantha meena

the nos are 2x,3x,5x.

4x^2+9x^2+16x^2=152

38x^2=152

x^2=4

so x=2.

sum=2x+3x+5x
=2*2+3*2+5*2=4+6+10
sum=20.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus: An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. * You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; * or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back. * However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
