Question 16

Some amount of money is divided among A, B and C, so that for every Rs. ₹100 A has, B has Rs. ₹65 and C has Rs. ₹40. If the share of C is Rs. ₹4000, the total amount of money (in rupees) is


Correct Answer: 20500

The shares of A, B and C are in the ratio $$100 \colon 65 \colon 40$$, which is $$100 + 65 + 40 = 205$$ parts altogether. C has 40 parts and that is Rs. 4000, so one part is Rs. 100. The total amount is $$205 \times 100 = 20500$$ rupees.
