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 thanD, what is B’s share?

Answer 1

Let the total money be “y”.
Now,
Let the total money with D be x & C be x+1000
A/Q,
x = 3y/14 ………(1)
While,
x+1000= 4y/14………(2)

Putting value of x in 2 from 1.
We get y = 14000

Hence,
B’s share is 2/14*14000 = 2000
