Answer 1

The share of a is Rs. 1120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

for every rupee that a gets b gets 75 paise.

For every rupee that b gets c gets 50 paise.

So, it becomes

a  : b

1  : 0.75

4 :  3

and b : c = 1 : 0.50 = 2 : 1

So, combined ratio would be

a  :   b        :   c

4  :   3

        2       :   1

--------------------------------

8   :      6    :   3

Amount that comes under B's share = 840

According to question, we get that

$6x=840\\\\x=\dfrac{840}{6}\\\\x=140$

So, Share of a would be

$8x=8\times 140=1120$

Hence, the share of a is Rs. 1120.
