Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

C will get the highest amount of ₹15,225

A will get ₹7,250

B will get ₹8,700

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A : B = 5 : 6  and B : C = 4 : 7

A : B = 5 : 6 multiply it by 4. It becomes 20 : 24

B : C = 4 : 7 multiply it by 6. It becomes 24 : 42

So, A : B : C = 20 : 24 : 42 = 10 : 12 : 21  (we divided it by 2) = a (let)

Now, Acc. to question

10a + 12a + 21a = 31175

43a = 31175

a = 31175/43

∴ a = 725

So, A = 10a = 10×725 = 7250

     B = 12a = 12×725 = 8700

     C = 21a = 21×725 = 15225

C will get the highest amount of ₹15,225

A will get ₹7,250

B will get ₹8,700
