Answer 1

Answer:

A's, B's and C's earnings will be 641.87 rupees, 700.22 rupees, 746.90 rupees respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

A's and B's earnings are in the ratio 11:12 = 11/12=(11×5)/(12×5) = 55/60=55:60

B's and C's earnings are in the ratio 15:16 = 15/16=(15×4)/(16×4) = 60/64=60:64

Hence, A's, B's and C's earnings are in the ratio= 55:60:64

A will get = [2085 × {55/(55+60+64)}] rupees = 641.87 rupees.

B will get = [2085 × {60/(55+60+64)}] rupees = 700.22 rupees.

C will get = [2085 × {64/(55+60+64)}] rupees = 746.91 rupees.
