Question 138

Pinku, Rinku and Tinku divide an amount of 4200 amongst themselves in the ratio of 7:8:6 respectively. If an amount 200 is added to their shares. What will be the new ratio?

Solution

Let the amount received by Pinku, Rinku and Tinku respectively = $$7x , 8x , 6x$$

Total amount = $$7x + 8x + 6x = 4200$$

=> $$21x = 4200$$

=> $$x = \frac{4200}{21} = 200$$

=> Amount with Pinku = 7*200 = 1400

Rinku = 8*200 = 1600

Tinku = 6*200 = 1200

If Rs. 200 is added to their shares, respective ratio

= $$(1400 + 200) : (1600 + 200) : (1200 + 200)$$

= $$1600:1800:1400 = 8:9:7$$
