Answer 2

Answer:

Shares of A, B, C are $1000,1400,1600$ respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the data given in the question, we need to divide ₹$4000$ among A, B, C in the ratio $5:7:8$

• Let the shares be $5,7,8$

• Sum of the shares $=5+7+8=20$

• Share of A

$=4000\times \frac{5}{20}$

$=1000$

• Share of B

$=4000\times\frac{7}{20} =1400$

• Share of C

$=4000\times\frac{8}{20} =1600$

Hence, the shares of A, B, C are $1000,1400,1600$ respectively.
