Question 138

A. B, and C divide an amount of Rs. 4,200 amongst themselves in the ratio of 7 : 8 : 6 respectively. If an amount of Rs. 200 is added to each of their shares, what will be the new respective ratio of their shares of amount?

Solution

Ratio of amounts received by A, B and C = 7 : 8 : 6

Sum of ratios = 7 + 8 + 6 = 21

=> Sum received by :

A = $$\frac{7}{21} \times 4200$$ = Rs. 1400

B = $$\frac{8}{21} \times 4200$$ = Rs. 1600

C = $$\frac{6}{21} \times 4200$$ = Rs. 1200

On adding Rs. 200 to the share of each one, the required ratio

= 1600 : 1800 : 1400

= 8 : 9 : 7
