Question

Divide Rs. 2890 between A.B and C such that A:B=1:2 and B:C=3:4.​

Answer 1

A:B=1:2 and B:C=3:4

So B is 2 and 3 in the ratios..find lcm of 2 and 3, that is 6. So make B as 6 in both ratios..

A:B= 1:2 = 1×3 : 2×3 = 3:6

B:C = 3:4 = 3×2 : 4×2 = 6:8

So A:B:C = 3:6:8

Now divide 2890 in the ratio 3:6:8

Let A gets 3x, B gets 6x and C gets 8x

3x + 6x + 8x = 2890

=> 17x = 2890

=> x = 2890/17 = 170

A gets = 3x = 3×170 = 510

B gets = 6x = 6×170 = 1020

C gets = 8x = 8×170 = 1360

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A B. C

1 : 2

3: 4

A:B:C = 3:6:8

3+6+8=17

17——>2890

1 ———>170

A——> 3 ——> 3*170 =510

B——>6 ———> 6*170=1020

C——->8———>8*170=1360
