total ratio 2+4+7=13

13*75=975 (total sum)

Answer 2

The sum is 975.

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain sum is to be divided between a,b,c is in the ratio 2:4:7.

Amount of a,b and c are 2x, 4x and 7x.

Total sum = 2x+4x+7x = 13x

But by mistake it was divided in the ratio 4:2:7.

Wrong amount of a,b and c are 4x, 2x and 7x.

B loses by Rs. 150.

$4x-2x=150$

$2x=150$

$x=75$

Total sum is

$13x=13(75)=975$

Therefore, the sum is 975.
