Answer 1

Answer:

25 : 18 : 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A sum of Rs. 53 is divided among A, B and C in such a way that A gets Rs.7 more than what B gets and B gets Rs. 8 more than what C gets. The ratio of their share is

Let the amount that C get = Rs x

Given;

B gets Rs 8 more than C.

So the amount that B gets = x + 8

Also give;

A gets Rs 7 more than B.

So the amount that A gets = x + 8 + 7

Given;

Total Amount = Rs 53

The amount that A gets + The amount that B gets + The amount that C gets = 53

(x + 8 + 7) + (x + 8) + x = 53

3x + 23 = 53

=> 3x = 30

=> x = 10

The ratios of their shares is A : B : C

= (x + 8 + 7) : (x + 8) : x

= (10 + 8 + 7) : (10 + 8) : 10

= 25 : 18 : 10
