Question

10. Find out who will get the highest amount if
31175 is divided among A, B and C in such a
way that, A:B = 5:6 and B : C = 4: 7. Also,
find the amount each one will get.
(Can I get the complete explanation?)

Answer 1

As per question,

A:B=5:6 &B:C=4:7

A/B=5/6×4/4=20/24

B/C=4/7×6/6=24/42

(That is because of to find out the equal ratio of B)

Then the ratio of A:B:C=20:24:42

The total ratio=20+24+42=86

The total amount =31175

Then A will get 20/86×31175=7250

B will get 24/86×31175=8700

C will get 42/86×31175=15225

As per your question C will get the highest amount .
