Question

3. A, B and C divide an amount of * 9861
amongst themselves in the ratio of 3:11:5,
respectively. What is the B's share in the
amount?​

Answer 1

Total money = 9861

A:B:C

= 3 + 11 + 5

Add the parts that A,B,C have

= 3+11+5 = 19

Now to find the share of A we need to do the following:

3/19 * 9861 = 1557

So A have 1557 amount

Now using the same method we can find how much amount B will get:

= 11/19 * 9861

= 5709

Amount C will get

= 5/19 * 9861

= 2595

For verification we can add all the 3 amount

= 1557 + 5709 + 2595

= 9861

Hope it helps..
