Answer 1

Answer:

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

A) 16 : 9 : 18

B) 25 : 18 : 10

C) 18 : 25 : 10

D) 15 : 8 : 30

Correct Answer:

B) 25 : 18 : 10

Description for Correct answer:

Let C gets x rupees

∴ B gets x + 8 rupees

∴ A gets x + 8 + 7 rupees

Total A + B+ C

=> x + 15 + x + 8 + x = 3x + 23

=> 3x + 23 = Rs. 53 (given)

3x = 30

x = 10

x = Rs. 10

∴ Ratio of their shares is

A : B : C

= (x + 15) : (x + 8) : (x)

= 25 : 18 : 10
