In one household there live four sisters of different heights. Their average height is 74 inches, and the difference in height among the first three women is two inches. The difference between the third and the fourth women is six inches.
Can you tell how tall is each sister?
| Consider the height of 4 sisters as a, b, c, d respectively. Let x be equal to a. Therefore, Height of 1st sister= x Height of 2nd sister= x+2 Height of 3rd sister= (x+2)+2 = x+4 Height of 4th sister= ((x+4)+6= x+10 There average height= 74 ∴ (a+b+c+d)/4=74 a+b+c+d=74*4= 296 ∴x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+10)=296 4x + 16 = 296 4x = 280 x = 70 So, Height of 1st sister is 70 inch Height of 2nd sister is 72 inch Height of 3rd sister is 74 inch Height of 4th sister is 80 inch |
