Question

Rs 48000 is distributed among a,b and c in the ratio 6:5:4 . What is the difference in the share of a and c?

Answer 1

Solution:

Total amount = ₹48,000
Ratio terms = 6 : 5 : 4
Sum of the ratio terms = (6 + 5 + 4) = 15

Amount A gets = 48000 × 6/15 = ₹19,200
Amount B gets = 48000 × 5/15 = ₹16,000
Amount C gets = 48000 × 4/15 = ₹12,800

Difference between the share of A and C = (₹19,200 - ₹12,800) = ₹6,400

Hope this helps.
