Question

If a certain amount is distributed in A, B and C in such a way that A gets 1/2 part of the amount, B gets 1/3 of the amount and C gets Rs. 1200, then what amount will A get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 3600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total amount.

Part of amount received by A &B  together = x/2 + x/3 = 5x/6.

Part of amount received by C would be 1 - 5x/6 = x/6.

This part should be equal to Rs.1200.

X/6 = 1200 => x = 7200.

Total amount = Rs. 7200.

Thus amount A got = x/2 = 7200/2 = Rs. 3600.
