divided in the ratio of 4:5:6. The amount in excess received by C was?​

Answer 1

Answer:

=Rs 72

Step-by-step explanation:

If Rs 555 was divided among A:B:C in the ratio 1/4 : 1/5: 1/6

Then C's Share=(1/6)*555/(1/4+1/5+1/6)

=(1/6)*555)/(15+12+10)/60

=555/6 *60 /37

=555*60/6*37

=Rs150

By mistake C' part by 4:5:6

=(6/15)*555

=Rs 222

Thus C got in excess

=222-150

=Rs 72
