Question

A certain sum of money is to be distributed among Sonu, Monu, Priya
and Riya in the ratio of 5 : 2 : 4 : 3 respectively if Priya gets 420 more
than Monu, then find the difference between the share of Sonu and Riya​

Answer 1

let x be the ratio factor .

so , 5x+2x+4x+3x = total money .

so, we can say 5*x is the money given to A,

2*x is the money given to B,

4*x is the money given to C,

3*x is the money given to D.

now , it is said that C gets 1000 more than D .

ie difference between the amount C and D get is 1000.

so ,

4*x-3*x=1000.

x=1000.

so we found the ratio factor to be 1000.

now the amount of money B get is equal to 2*x = 2*1000= 2000.

therefore the share of B is 2000.

hope this explanation was helpful.
