Question 12

A total sum of ₹153 is distributed among three friends A, B and C in such a way that C gets 5 times as much money than A gets and B gets 3 times as much money than A gets. How many rupees does B get?

Solution

Let us assume that A gets 1 unit. So B and C get 3 and 5 units respectively. So the ratio between A,B and C will be - 1:3:5.

Again, it is given that A+B+C=153.

Now according to the unit sum, 9 unit = 153

Therefore, 1 unit = 17

B will get 3 unit = 3×17 = 51
