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?
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
