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]
