Question

3 daily wage workers a, band c are distributed rs. 178 in such a way that a gets rs. 4 less than



c. b gets. rs. 15 more than a and c gets rs. 11 less than



b. what is the ratio of their shares ?

Answer 1

Let a's share be x then :

b = x + 15

c = x + 4

Their total is 178

x + x + 4 + x + 15 = 178

3x + 19 = 178

3x = 178 - 19

3x = 159

x = 53

b = 53 + 15 = 68

c = 53 + 4 = 57

Ratio of their contributions is :

a : b : c = 53 : 68 : 57
