8(share of A) =12(share of B)=6(share Of C) .
A+(2/3)A+(4/3)A=432
9A=3*432
A=144
Therefore A share=rs 144

Answer 2

Answer:

A's share is Rs. 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Rs. 432 is divided amongst A,B and C

so, A+B+C= 432

Also 8A=12B=6C

so we are going to make B and C in terms of A

8A = 12B

B = 8A/12 = 2A/3

8A = 6C

C= 8A/6 = 4A/3

So remember;

A+B+C = 432

A + 2A/3 + 4A/3 = 432

find the L.C.M

3A+2A+4A/3= 432

9A/3= 432

9A= 432 * 3

A = 432 *3/9

A = 144
