Question

an amount of Rs. 675 is divided among A B and C if each of them received Rs. 25 less their share would have been in the ratio of 1:2:3 find how much money is received by c?

Answer 1

Each of them receive 25 less their shares

Total shares not given out = 25 x 3 = 75

675 - 75 = 600

Ratio = A: B : C = 1 : 2 : 3

Find number of parts:

Total parts = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

Find 1 part:

6 parts = 600

1 part = 100

Find 3 parts (Which is C):

3 parts = 100 x 3 = 300

Add back the Rs 25 which was taken out at first:
300 + 25 = Rs 325

Answer: Rs 325
