Answer 2

A receive rupees 160.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount = 700

A : B = 2 : 3          .... (1)

B : C = 4 : 5          .... (2)

First of all we have to find A:B:C.

A : B = 8 : 12

B : C = 12 : 15

Ratio of A:B:C = 8:12:15

Let A,B,C receive 8x, 12x and 15x respectively.

$8x+12x+15x=700$

$35x=700$
