Three numbers are such that the second is as much
lesser than the third as the first is lesser than
the second. If the product of the two smaller numbers
is 85 and the product of two larger numbers is 115.
Find the middle number? Choose the correct option.
A) 10	B) 12	C) 14	D) 16	E) 18
Let the three numbers be x,y,z   2y = x+z.....................1   Given that the product of two smaller numbers is 85   x y = 85................2   Given that the product of two larger numbers is 115   y z = 115...............3   Dividing 2 and 3 x y /y z = 85/115   x / z = 17 / 23   From 1   2y = x+z   2y = 85/y + 115/y   2y2 = 200   y2 = 100   y = 10   10NSWER 10
