Question

By mistake,instead of dividing Rs 117 among A , B ,C in the ratio 1/2 ,1/3,1/4, it was divided in the ratio of 2:3:4 .who gains the most and by how much?

Answer 1

Let us consider 2:3:4 = 2x:3x:4x
THEN, add this :-) 2x+3x+4x = 117
9x = 117
x = 117/9
So, x = 13

Now, put the values of x:-) i.e.,

= 2 ✖ 13 + 3 ✖ 13 + 4 ✖ 13
= 26 + 39 + 42. We want this: = 117

It means that :-) A = 26 , B = 39 , C = 42 .


ANS... IS :-) C gains the most i.e., 42 .

... B gains more by A by 13 .
... C gains more by 13 by B and by
26 by A.

Hope this will help u

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is divided in ratio 2:3:4

So let,

2x+3x+4x=117

9x=117

x=13

So because of A=2x

Value of A=2*13=26

Same as value of B=3*13=39

And valie of C=4*13=52

So, C gained the most and and 13 by B and 26 by A
