Question

divide rupees 1380 among A, B and C so that the amount received by A is five times as much as B's share and three time as C's share . Find the share of A,B,C.

Answer 1

Answer: given,

B = 5a

Or, a= b/5

Now,

B= 3c

Or, c= b/3

Now,

A+b+c =1380

Putting the value of a and c ,

B/5+b+b/3= 1380

3b+15b+5b/15= 1380

23b/15=1380

23b= 1380×15

b=20700/23

= 900

So, a= b/5

=900/5

=180

Now, c =b/3

=900/3

= 300
