1. 72
2. 84
3. 66
4. 78

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 78

Given:

The number is divided in the ratio of 2 ∶ 1

The largest of the number is 52.

Calculation:

Let 2x and x be the numbers.

2x = 52

Or, x = 26

We need to find the number, that is = 2x + x = 3x

3x = 3 × 26 = 78

∴ The number is 78.
