Question

Out of a certain amount of money, Rs 60 was divided between A, B and C, such that A gets Rs 4 less than B and C gets Rs 4 more than B and the remaining money was given to D. If A, B, C and D are in proportion, how much money will D get?

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

let certain amount be X

given that 60 was divided between A,B and C

and A=B-4,C=B+4,

Therefore,A+B+C=60;

B-4+B+B+4=60;

3B=60;

B=20

Therefore A=16;B=20;C=24

Given that A,B,C,D,are in proportion,

so,(A/B)=(C/D)

(16/20)=(24/D)

D=30.
