Question

8, C:D = 4:5, if the total rent is Rs. 15,400. D's
share is Rs.
a) 1000 b) 3000 c) 6000
d) 9000​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A : B = 8 : 15

B : C = 5 : 8 = 15 : 24

C : D = 4 : 5 = 24 : 30

Combining,

A : B : C : D = 8 : 15 : 24 : 30

A+B+C+D = 77

77 -------- 15,400 Rs

1 -------- 200 Rs

D = 30 ------ 30 × 200 = 6,000 Rs
