Answer:

Let the three numbers be x, y and z.

Sum of the numbers is 98.

x + y + z = 98………………(i)

The ratio of the first to the second is 2/3.

x/y = 2/3.

x = 2/3 × y.

x = 2y/3.

The ratio of the second to the third is 5/8.

y/z = 5/8.

z/y = 8/5.

z = 8/5 × y.

z = 8y/5.

Put the value of x = 2y/3 and z = 8y/5 in (i).

2y/3 + y + 8y/5 = 98

49y/15 = 98.

49y = 98 × 15.

49y = 1470.

y = 1470/49.

y = 30 .

Therefore, the second number is 30.

Answer: (c)

Answer:

The number of students who scored more than 90 points is 750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quartiles are statistical measures that the divide the data into four groups.

The first quartile (Q₁) indicates that 25% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₁.

The second quartile (Q₂) indicates that 50% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₂.

The third quartile (Q₃) indicates that 75% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₃.

It is provided that the first quartile is at 90 points.

That is, P (X ≤ 90) = 0.25.

The probability that a student scores more than 90 points is:

P (X > 90) = 1 - P (X ≤ 90)

                = 1 - 0.25

                = 0.75

The number of students who scored more than 90 points is: 1000 × 0.75 = 750.
