Answer 2

Given:

Out of a total amount of Rs 4,898,

B receives 20% more than A and 25% more than C.

To find:

The Share amount of B

Solution:

Step 1 of 2:

The total amount is Rs 4,898

A + B + C = 4,898

B receives 20% more than A

B = A + 20% of A

B = A + $\frac{20}{100}$ A

B = A + 0.2A

B = 1.2A

A = $\frac{B}{1.2}$

B receives 20% more than C

B = C + 25% of C

B = C + $\frac{25}{100}$ C

B = C + 0.25C

B = 1.25C

C = $\frac{B}{1.25}$

Step 2 of 2:

A + B + C = 4,898

$\frac{B}{1.2}$ + B +  $\frac{B}{1.25}$ = 4,898

$\frac{B + 1.2B}{1.2}$ +  $\frac{B}{1.25}$ = 4,898

$\frac{2.2B}{1.2}$ +  $\frac{B}{1.25}$ = 4,898

$\frac{2.75B +1.2B}{1.5}$ = 4,898

3.95B = 1.5 × 4,898

3.95B = 7,347

B = $\frac{7347}{3.95}$

B = 1,860

B received an amount of Rs 1,860

Final answer:

The Share amount of B is Rs 1,860

Thus, the correct option is (b) Rs 1,860
