The sum of three numbers is 98. If the ratio between first and second be 2 : 3 and that between second and third be 5 : 8, then the second number is?	Pick: A) 30 B) 20 C) 58 D) 48 E) 68
Let the numbers be X, Y and Z. Then,   X + Y + Z = 98, X/Y = 2/3 and Y/Z = 5/8   Therefore, X = 2Y/3 and Z = 8Y/5. So, 2Y/3 + Y + 8Y/5 = 98.   49Y/15 = 98   Y = 30.   30NSWER:30
