₹21,000 is divided among A, B and C in such a way that the shares of A and B are in the ratio 2 : 3, and those of B and C are in the ratio 4 : 5. The share of B is:
Given,
Ratio of A : B = 2 : 3
i.e; $$\frac{A}{B}=\frac{2}{3}$$
Ratio of B : C = 4 : 5
i.e; $$\frac{B}{D}=\frac{4}{5}$$
now ,
$$\frac{A}{B}=\frac{2}{3}\times\ \frac{4}{4}=\frac{8}{12}$$
$$\frac{B}{D}=\frac{4}{5}\times\ \frac{3}{3}=\frac{12}{15}$$
Therefore,
A : B : C = 8 : 12 : 15
Let the ratios are 8x, 12x and 15x
According to question,
8x + 12x + 15x = 21000
35x = 21000
x = $$\frac{21000}{35}$$
Share of B = $$\frac{21000}{35}\times\ 12=₹7200$$
Hence, Option C is correct.
