Three numbers are in the ratio. If the difference between the greatest number and the smallest number is 33, the HCF of the three numbers is:
A.
5
B.
9
C.
11
AnswerD.
13
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Three numbers I : II : III = 6 : 8 : 9
Difference between largest and smallest number is 33
9x - 6x = 33
3x = 33
x = 11
I : II : III = 6 × 11 : 8 × 11 : 9 × 11 = 66 : 88 : 99
HCF of three numbers [66, 88, 99] = 11
