Question

A sum is to be divided among a, b and c together in the ratio 2 : 3 : 7. If the total share of a and b together is rs.1500 less than c, what is a's share in it ?

Answer 1

600 rs

Step-by-step explanation:

let 1 part be x

ax+bx=1500

2×x+3×x=1500

2x+3x=1500

5x=1500

x=1500÷5

x=300

Hence,share of a=2×300

i.e.600
