Question 61

53 is divided among A, B, C in such a way that A gets 7 more than what B gets and B gets 8 more than what C gets. Ratio of their shares is

Solution

Let C gets = $$x$$

=> B gets = $$(x+8)$$

=> A gets = $$(x+8+7)=(x+15)$$

According to ques, total amount = $$(x)+(x+8)+(x+15)=53$$

=> $$3x=53-23=30$$

=> $$x=\frac{30}{3}=10$$

$$\therefore$$ $$A:B:C=25:18:10$$

=> Ans - (B)
