Question

Divide1500 among A, B and C such that B's share is five-sixth of A's share and C's share is four fifth of B's share​

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 600

B = 500

C = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

A = A

B = 5A/6

C = 5A/6 x 4/5

=> C = 2A/3

So, from Q,

A + B + C = 1500

=> A + 5A/6 + 2A/3 = 1500

=> (6A + 5A + 4A) / 6 = 1500      [by LCM]

=> 15A/6 = 1500

=> A = 1500 x 6 / 15

=> A = 600

B = 5 x 600 / 6

B = 500

C = 2 x 600 / 3

C = 400
