Three different numbers are chosen such that when the average of the any two numbers is added to the third number, it gives 65, 69 and 76 as result. The average of the three numbers is
65+69+76=210
210/3=70,70/2=35
Let the numbers be x, y and z. Average of x and y + z = 65 i.e \(\frac{x+y}{2} + z = 65\) eqn (1) Similarly for other numbers \(\frac{y+z}{2} + x = 69\) eqn (2) and \(\frac{z+x}{2} + y = 76\) eqn (3) Add eqns (1),(2) and (3) to get 2(x+y+z) =210 x+y+z =105 Average of the three numbers is \(\frac{x+y+z}{3} = \frac{105}{3} = 35\)
