Question

Rs. 120 are divided among A, B, C such that A's share is Rs. 20 more than B's and Rs. 20 less than C's. What is B's share

Answer 1

Let A's share be x.
As A's share is 20 more than B' share, we get B'share =x-20 and
as C's share is 20 more than A' share,
A's share =x+20.
According to the question,
A's share + B's share + C's share =120,
or, x+(x-20)+(x+20) =120
or, 3x-20+20=120,
or, 3x=120,
or, x=40
Thus, B's share =x-20 =40-20 =20[Answer]
