* 185
b.
110
C.

d.
*77​

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 77

Step-by-step explanation:

given : 2a = 3b            a/b =3/2

           4b = 5c             b/c =5/4

a : b = 3 : 2             x 5

    b : c = 5 : 4        x 2

a : b : c = 15 : 10 : 8

15x+10x+8x =363

33x =363

x = 11

A' share = 15 * 11 = 165

B's share = 10 * 11 = 110

C's share = 8 * 11 = 88

Find the difference between the share of C and  A  = 165 - 88 = 77
