Given, ratio of amounts = 4:6:9
Hence, 1st person's share = 4x
2nd person's share = 6x
third person's share = 9x
Also given, the largest share is 1000 more than smallest share.
Largest share = 9x
Smallest share = 4x
9x - 4x = 1000
5x = 1000
x = 200
Hence total amount = total shares = 4x+6x+9x = 19x = 19*200 = 3800
The amount is Rs.3800.
Hope it helps.
