    Out of three numbers, the first is twice the second and is half of the third. If the average of the three numbers is 56, then difference of first and third number is

    A)  12                   

    B)  20  

    C)  24                   

    D)  48

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let second number = x \[\therefore \] First number = 2x and third number = 4x According to question, \[56=\frac{2x+x+4x}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{56\times 3}{7}=24\] \[\therefore \] Required difference \[=4x-2x\] \[\,=2x=2\times 24=48\]
