Question

Some amount has to be distributed among a,b,and c in the ratio 7:6:12 if the total share of a and b is rs 60 more than c find the difference between a and c share

Answer 1

Answer:

Let c be x

so,the share given to a and b= 60+x

and, let the share be 7x , 6x,and 12x

therfore, 7x+ 6x+ 12x=60 +x

= 25x=60+x

=25 x-x=60

=24x=60

=x=60/24=5/2

so x=5/2

and, a share=60+5/2=125/2

so,difference = 125/2 - 5/2=120/2=60
