A, B and C divide a certain sum of money among themselves. The average of the amounts with them is ₹4520. Share of A is $$10\frac{2}{3}\%$$ more than share of B and $$33\frac{1}{3}\%$$ less than share of C. What is the share of B (in ₹)?
Share of A is $$10\frac{2}{3}\%$$ more than share of B.
A = B + $$\frac{\frac{32}{3}}{100}\times$$B
A = B + $$\frac{8}{75}\times$$B
A = $$\frac{83}{75}$$B........(1)
Share of A is $$33\frac{1}{3}\%$$ less than share of C.
A = C - $$\frac{\frac{100}{3}}{100}\times$$C
A = C - $$\frac{1}{3}\times$$C
A = $$\frac{2}{3}$$C
$$\frac{83}{75}$$B = $$\frac{2}{3}$$C
C = $$\frac{83}{50}$$B........(2)
The average of the amounts of A, B and C is ₹4520.
Sum of the amounts of A, B and C = 4520 x 3
A + B + C = 13560
$$\frac{83}{75}$$B + B + $$\frac{83}{50}$$B = 13560
$$\frac{166B+150B+249B}{150}=13560$$
$$\frac{565B}{150}=13560$$
B = ₹3600
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
