Answer 1

A's ratio =5/18

B's ratio = 6/18

C's Ratio = 7/18

A's share = 175*5/18

B's share =175*6/18

=58.33

C's share = 175*7/18

Therefore ,

B's share = 58.33

C's share = 68.06

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of A : B : C = 5 :

6 : 7 (Given)

.

STEP 1: Define x:

Let x be the constant ratio:

Ratio of A : B : C = 5x :

6x : 7x

.............................................................................................

STEP 2: Solve x:

Given that A's share is ₹175

5x = ₹175

x = 175 ÷ 5

x = ₹35

.............................................................................................

STEP 3: FInd B's and C's share

B = 6x = 6(35) = ₹210

C = 7x= 7(35) = ₹245

.............................................................................................

STEP 4: Find total amount:

Total amount = 175 + 210 + 245 = ₹630

.............................................................................................

Answer: The total share is ₹630. B's share is ₹210 and c's share is ₹245
