Answer:

Weight of a pile of sand = 90 Kg

Ratio of weight of sand in three bags =

2 : 3 : 7

Let the weights be 2x kg, 3x kg and 7x kg respectively

A.T.Q.

=> 2x + 3x + 7x = 90

=> 12x = 90

=> x = 90/12

=> x = 7.5 Kg

___________________________

Weight of sand in small bag =

=> 2 × 7.5

=> 15 Kg ANS

Weight of sand in medium bag =

=> 3 × 7.5

=> 22.5 Kg ANS

Weight of sand in large bag =

=> 7 × 7.5

=> 52.5 Kg ANS
