Question 152

A sum of money is divided among A, B, C and D in the ratio of 4 : 5 : 7 : 11 respectively. If the share of C is Rs. 1,351/- then what is the total amount of money of A and D together?

Solution

Let the total amount to be divided = $$27x$$

A : B : C : D = 4 : 5 : 7 : 11

=> Share of C = $$\frac{7}{27} * 27x = 1351$$

=> $$x = \frac{1351}{7} = 193$$

Now, total amount of money with A & D together

= $$\frac{4 + 11}{27} * 27x$$

= $$15 * 193 = $$Rs. $$2,895$$
