Question

A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B and C in the ratio 7 : 5 : 6 respectively. If A gets `150 more than C, what is B’s share?

Answer 1

Answer:

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of 5:2:4:3.

Let the shares of A, B, C, and D be Rs.5x, Rs.2x, Rs.4x, and Rs.3x respectively.

Then, 4x−3x=1000     (given)

=> x=1000.

∴ B's share =Rs.2x=Rs.(2×1000)=Rs.2000.
