Question

a certain sum was divided among A, B and C in the ratio 7 : 5 :4 if B got rupees 500 more than c find the total sum divided ?

Answer 1

A = 7x, B = 5x, and C = 4x
B = C + 500
5x = 4x + 500
X = 500
A = 7x = 7*500 = 3500
B = 5x = 5*500 = 2500
C = 4x = 4*500 = 2000
Then total sum
3500+2500+2000 = 8000
