1. If x = 2y = 3z = 36 then the arithmetic mean of x, y and z is:

  • A. 33
  • B. 33
  • C. 33
  • D. 33

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Here,  y = x/2  and  z = x/3  and x = 36.

So, the arithmatic mean of x, y & z = (x + y + z)/3 = (x + x/2 + x/3)/3 = 11x/18 = 11 x 36/18 = 22.

[Alternative: x = 36,   y = 36/2 = 18,    z = 36/3 = 12

So, mean of x,  y,  z  = (36 + 18 + 12) / 3 = 22]
