Question

34. A sum of Rs.817 is divided among A, B and C such that 'A' receives 25% more than 'B' and 'B' receives 25% less
than 'C' What is A's share in the amount?
a) Rs.304
b) Rs. 285
c)Rs. 247 d)Rs. 228 e)None​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A's share would be Rs.285

Let C,share is x,

B's share is 0.75x

and A would get0.9375x

A,s share would be (0.9375/2.6875)*817= Rs

Answer 2

A will get Rs. 285

B will get Rs. 228

C will get Rs. 304

Let us make it simple and easy to understand that how it was calculated:

Let us assume that C will get Rs. X

Hence, B will get 25% Less than C’s Share i.e. Rs. 0.75 X

Also, A will get 25% More than B’s Share i.e. Rs. 0.75 X + ( 25% of 0.75 X)

therefore A will get 0.75 X + 0.1875 X = Rs. 0.9375 X

Now, we know that total amount was Rs. 817.

So, Adding all 3 Shares we get,

Rs. ( X + 0.75 X + 0.9375 X)

Rs. 2.6875 X = 817

therefore value of X will be Rs. 817 divided by 2.6875

so, X = Rs. 304

So, C’ share = X = Rs. 304

Putting X value in B’s Share = 0.75 X = 0.75 ( 304) = Rs. 228

Substituting X value in A’s Share = 0.9375 X = 0.9375 (304) = 285.

hope so i was able to make it very simple as much as possible.
