Question

Divide Rs 1545 among A B and C such that A gets 3/5 of what B gets and the ratio of the share of B to C is 6:11

Answer 1

Total amount = Rs 1545

Ratio between B and C = 6:11

Let the amount B gets = 30x

Let the amount C gets = 55x

(30:55::6:11)

Amount A gets = 3/5 of 30x = 18x

18x + 30x + 55x = 1545

103x = 1545

x = 15

So

A gets Rs 270

B gets Rs 450

C gets Rs 825
