Answer 1

"An amount of Rs 420 is divided among A,B,C in the ratio 1/3: 5/6:7/9. Find B part?

Answer: first we have to take the LCM of A, B and C.

THEN WE HAVE TO CALCULTE:

3/9 FOR A, 30/36 for B and 7/9 for C.

Then 12:30:28/36.

So for B ratio it will be 30/36. Or we can say 5/6.

So we have to calculate 420* 5/6 = 350.

Answer 2

Explanation:

answer

take lcm

1/3:5/6:7/9

we get

6:15:14/18

here A=6,B=15,C=14

add

6+15+14=35

total amount : 420

using box method

35 420

15 X

we get

35*X=420*15

X=420*15/35

=60*3

X=180

Ans : part of B is :180
