Question

An amount of money is to be distributed among A,B and C in the 3: 1: 5. The difference between B's share and C's share is ₹ 3600. What is the total of A's share and B's share

Answer 1

let say x is common multiplier then

A share = 3x

B share = x

C share = 5x

difference between b an c share = 3600

| B -C| = 3600

| x - 5x| = 3600

|-4x| = 3600

|-x| = 900

x = 900

A share = 3x = 3×900 = 2700

B share = x = 900

C share = 5x = 5×900 = 4500

4500-900 = 3600 ( for verification)
