Question

divide Rs 1775 into three parts such that the second part is 4/5 of the first and the ratio between the first and the third is 4:7

Answer 1

Answer:

500 , 400 & 875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st part be x ; 2nd part will be 4x/5 ;

3rd part will be 1775 - (x +4x/5) = 1775 - 9x/5 = 8875-9x/5

Ratio between 1st part and 3rd part is 4:7. So,

x / (8875-9x)/5 = 4/7

5x / (8875-9x) = 4/7

35x = 35500 - 36x

71x = 35500

x = 500

2nd part = 4 *500 / 5 = 400

3rd part = 1775 - (500 + 400) = 875
