Question

A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of 5 : 2 : 4 : 3. If C gets Rs. 1000 more than D, what is B's share?

Answer 1

Hey,

Let the sum be x
Sum of ratio=5+2+4+3=14

A's share=5*x/14=5x/14
B's share=2*x/14=2x/14
C's share=4*x/14=4x/14
D's share=3*x/14=3x/14

When C gets Rs.1000 more than D,
4x/14-1000=3x/14
(4x-14000)/14=3x/14
4x-14000=3x (Dividing both sides by 14)
x=14000

The sum is Rs.14000

B's share is 2x/14=Rs.2000
