Question

divide 10400 among a b c in the ratio 1/2 ,1/3 and 1/4

Answer 1

Acc to the ques, we have to divide 10400 among a b c in the ratio 1/2 ,1/3 and 1/4. i.e. 6x : 4x : 3x

So, 6x + 4x + 3x = 10400

or, 13x = 10400

or, x = 10400/13 = 800

Now, 6x = 4800

4x = 3200

3x = 2400.

Therefore, a = 4800; b = 3200; c = 2400.
