Question

Rs 1360 have been divided among A,B,C such that a gets 2/3 of what b gets and b gets 1/4 of what c gets then b,s share is:

Answer 1

Let c contribution be x then :

b = 1/4x

a = 2/3 × 1/4x = 1/6x

1/4x + 1/6x + x = 1360

6x + 4x + 24x = 1360 × 24

34x = 32640

x = 960

Contribution of b is :

1/4 × 960 = 240

Answer 2

Answer:

The share of b is Rs 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let the share of c is x.

b gets 1/4 of what c gets. Therefore,

b = 1/4x

a gets 2/3 of what b gets. Therefore,

a = 2/3 × 1/4x = 1/6x

Total amount is 1360.

$\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{6}+ x =1360$

$\frac{3x+2x+12x}{12}=1360$

$\frac{17x}{12}=1360$

$x=\frac{1360\times 12}{17}$

$x=80\times 12$

$x=960$

Therefore, the c gets Rs 960.

Contribution of b is :  

1/4 × 960 = 240

Hence, b's share is Rs 240.
