Question

An amount of ₹540 is divided among three member A, B and C in the ratio 1:2:3 find the share of B

Answer 1

Let the amount divided be 1x, 2x, 3x
1x+2x+3x = 540
X= 540/6
X= 90
B= 2x = 2*90
= ₹180

Answer 2

The share of B is Rs. 180

Given - Amount and ratio

Find - Share of B

Solution - Let the share of each member A, B and C be 1x, 2x and 3x. Now, as is evident, that sum of share of each member will be total amount..

Now, representing the equation -

$1x + 2x + 3x = 540$

Performing addition to find the sum on Left Hand Side of equation.

$6x = 540$

Shifting 6 to Right Hand Side of equation to find the value of x

$x = \frac{540}{6}$

Performing division

x = 90

Now calculating share of B.

Share of B = 2x

Share of B = 2*90

Share of B = 180

Hence, the share of B is Rs. 180.
