Question

. A certain amount was to be distributed among A, B and C in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4, but was erroneously distributed in the ratio 7 : 2 : 5. As a result of this, B received Rs. 40 less. What is the actual amount?

Answer 1

Answer:

total money = Rs 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total money be Rs x.

in first case, B gets =3x/9= Rs x/3.

in second case, B gets =2x/14=Rs x/7.

so, ATP,

x/3-x/7=40

or, x(1/3-1/7)=40

or, x*4/14=40

or, x = 140
