Answer 2

A's share in the amount would be Rs. 780.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sum = Rs. 2236

A receives 25% more than C.

C receives 25% less than B.

So, it becomes,

$A=\dfrac{100+25}{100}C\\\\A=\dfrac{125}{100}C\\\\A=\dfrac{5}{4}C\\\\\dfrac{A}{C}=\dfrac{5}{4}$

Similarly,

$C=\dfrac{100-25}{100}B\\\\C=\dfrac{75}{100}B\\\\C=\dfrac{3}{4}B\\\\\dfrac{C}{B}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

So, the combined ratio would be

A   :  C   :   B

5   :   4

        3   :    4

--------------------------

15  :   12  : 16

So, A's share would be

$\dfrac{15}{43}\times 2236\\\\=15\times 52\\\\=780$

Hence, A's share in the amount would be Rs. 780.
