Question

an amount of Rs 155 is divided among three persons A B and C such that 1/8 A's share=1/7 B's share = 1/16 C's share. find b's share.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be C’s share. Then A’s share is 1.75C. A’s share is also 1.5 of B, making B’s share 1/1.5, or or 2/3rd’s of A’s. So, B=2/3 x 1 3/4C=2/3 x 7/4=7/6 C. All told:

C + 7/4C+7/6C=1290

12C+21C+14C=15480

C=329.36

B=7/6C=384.255

A=7/4C=576.383

Also:

A=1 1/2B

=3/2B

B=1/ 3/2A=2/3A

and

A=1 3/4C=7/4C

C=4/7A

Then:

A + 2/3A + 4/7A=1290

21A+14A+12A=27090

47A=

A=576.3829787234

C=4/7A=Rs. 329.36170 …………….
