Question : 2 of 40

Marks: +1, -0

If Rs. 510 be divided among A, B, C is such a way that A gets

2 /3

of what B gets and B gets

1 /4

of what C gets, then their shares are respectively:

Solution:

Let the share of A, B and C be Rs. a, Rs. b and Rs. c

a = 2/3× b

and also,

b = 1/4c

;

∴a=1/6c

Now,

a : b : c = 1/6c :1/4c :c =2:3:12

Share of A

= 2/{2+3+12}×510=2/17×510

= Rs. 60
Share of B

=3/17× 510

= Rs. 90
Share of C

= 12/17 × 510

= Rs. 360
