Question

Divide ₹1380 among A,B and C so that the amount A recieves is 5 times as much as C's share and is 3 times as much as B's share.

Answer 1

let A's share be x rs

so share of B = x/3

and share of C = x/5

now this sum is 1380

so , x + x/3 + x/5 = 1380

15x/15 + 5x/15 + 3x/15 = 1380

23x /15 = 1380

x = 1380 × 15 / 23

x = 60 × 15

x = 900

so share of A = 900 rs

share of B = 900 /3 = 300 rs

share of C = 900/5 = 180 rs
