Answer:

  • (b) 260, 130, 390

Explanation:

Given:

  • Total = 780
  • Ayo - x
  • Tunde - y
  • Shade - z

We have:

  • x = 2y
  • z = 3y
  • x + y + z = 780

Substitute and solve for y:

  • 2y + y + 3y = 780
  • 6y = 780
  • y = 130

Find x and z:

  • x = 2*130 = 260
  • z = 3*130 = 390

Correct choice is (b)
