A sum of money has been distributed among the three brothers A, B and C in the ratio 5:7:8. If their father increases their shares further by 40%, 50% and 75% respectively, find out the ratio of the sums of money A, B and C now have. *

3:4:5

6:7:8

2:3:4

7:8:9

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the shares of A,B,C,D, be Rs3x,Rs5x,Rs7xandRs11x respectively.

Then, 7x−3x=1668⇒4x=1668⇒x=417∴B

′

share+D

′

share=5x+11x=Rs16x=16×417=Rs6672

How satisfied are you

Answer 2

Answer:

if I consider the amount is 100

A = 5ratio is 25

B= 7ratio is 35

& C=8rati is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

40% 0f 25 is 10

50% of 35 is 17.5

75% of 40 is 30

then A has 25+10=35

B has 35+17.5=52.5

& c has 40+30=70

A:B:C=2:3:4

Divide 35,52.5&70 by 17.5 you will got this ratio I think you got your answer
