A
30
💡 Explanation:
First of all, we shall have to find the ratio among all 3 numbers.
Now, we have the ratio between the 1st and 2nd number = 2 : 3 and the ratio between the 2nd and 3rd = 5 : 8
Therefore, the ratio among 3 numbers = 10 : 15 : 24
Now, the sum of ratio = 10 + 15 + 24 = 49
Therefore, the second number = 98 * (15/49) = 30
So, it is the correct answer.
