c) Rs.21_/

d) Rs.52

Answer 2

EXCESS AMOUNT FOR C = Rs.72/-

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio found is 4:5:6 So,

Ratio in which Rs.555 is divided can be calculated as -

1/4 : 1/5 : 1/6 or 60/4 : 60/5 : 60/6

= 15 : 12 : 10

Now, C can have a share = (10 / 15 + 12 + 10) X 555

                                          = (10/37) X 555

                                          = Rs. 150 /-

Since, it was divided in ratio of 4 : 5 : 6, hence C's Share is = (6/4+5+6) x 555  

                                                                                                  = (6 / 15) x 555

                                                                                                  = Rs. 222/-

Finally, the excess amount with C = Rs. (222 - 150)

                                                        = Rs. 72 /-
