Question

A , B and C have a total Rs. 4600/- . The Ratio of the money between B and C is 3 : 5 . If share of A is Rs.1400 then find shares of B and C .
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A, B and C get 3x, 5x and 8x, respectively.

3x+5x+8x = 16x = 3200, or x = 200

So A gets Rs.600, B gets Rs.1000 and C gets Rs.1600.

The difference between the shares of B and C = (8x-3x) = 3x = Rs.600.
