Question

Rs.864 is divided into a, b and c such that 8 times a's share is equals to 12 times b's share is equal to 6 times c's share. how much did b get

Answer 1

a= 243
b= 162
and c=27 as u can see a+b+c= 432 8a
= 12b and b=6c 
8a=12b=6c and a+b+c = 432 solving for a=144 b= 96 c= 192

Answer 2

Answer:

rs.192

Step-by-step explanation:

let a's share be a

Let b's share be b

Let c's share be c

Now we are given that  8 times a's share is equals to 12 times b's share is equal to 6 times c's share.

$\Rightarow 8a=12b=6c$

$\Rightarow 4a=6b=3c$

So, the ratio of their shares = 18:12:24 = 3:2:4

Let the ratio be x

Total amount = 864

So, 3x+2x+4x=864

9x=864

$x=\frac{864}{9}$

$x=96$

So, b's Share = $2 \times 96=192$

Hence b get Rs.192
