Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Let, the 2nd number = x
1st number will be $\frac{x}{2}$
And 3rd number will be $\frac{x}{3}$
According to question
=> $\frac{\frac{x}{2}+x+\frac{x}{3}}{3}$ = 44
=> $\frac{x}{2}+x+\frac{x}{3}$ = 44$\times$3
=> $\frac{3x+6x+2x}{6}$ = 132
=> 11x = 132$\times$6
=> x = $\frac{132\times 6}{11}$
x=72
