Question

Rs.590 is divided amongst A,B,C so that 5 times A's share ,six times of B's share and eight times of C's share are all equal . Find C's share?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the sum of money be divided in a fraction of x.

By question, A=x/5, B=x/6 and C=x/8

Also A =B =C given.

(x/5)+(x/6)+(x/8)=590

Or,(24x+20x+15x)/120=590

Or,59x=590×120

x=(590×120)/59

Therefore x=1200.

Now share of C is x/8=1200/8=150.
