Question

420 articles are divided among A, B and C such that A gets three times that of B and B gets five times that of C. Find the number of articles received by B​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of articles received by B is 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be x, B be y and C be z

A+B+C=420 (x+y+z=420)

According to the question, x=3y , y=5z So,

3y+5z+z=420

3(5z)+6z=420

15z+6z=420

21z=420

z=420/21

C=z=20

Then,

According to the question, y=5z So,

y=5*20

B=y=100
