Answer 2

The total amount is Rs 7259.

Explanation:

Given : A, B and C divide an amount among themselves in the ratio of 4 : 7 : 9 respectively .

Let the share of A be 4x and the share of b be 7x and the share of C be 9x.

If b shares in the amount is 2989 ,

⇒ 7x = 2989

⇒ x = 427  [Divide both sides by 7]

A's share = 4(427) =  1708

C's share =  6(427) = 2562

Now , the total amount = Sum of A , B and C's share

= 1708+2989+2562

=7259

Hence, the total amount is Rs 7259.
