A certain sum is divided between four people A, B, C and D in the ratio 3 : 4 : 7 : 8, respectively. If the amount received by D is ₹408 more than the amount received by B, what is the total amount received by C and D?
A certain sum is divided between four people A, B, C and D in the ratio 3 : 4 : 7 : 8, respectively.
Let's assume the share of four people A, B, C and D is 3y, 4y, 7y, and 8y respectively.
If the amount received by D is ₹408 more than the amount received by B.
8y = ₹408+4y
8y-4y = ₹408
4y = ₹408
y = ₹102
Total amount received by C and D = 7y+8y = 15y
= $$15\times102$$
= ₹1530
