Question 67

If ₹3800 is distributed among A,B, C such that A : B= 1 : 2 and B : C = 3 : 5,the find the share of B.

Solution

If ₹3800 is distributed among A,B, C such that A : B= 1 : 2 and B : C = 3 : 5

Equating the two ratios we get A : B : C = 3 : 6 : 10

Let x = 3800, A : B : C = 3x : 6x : 10x

$$A+B+C = 19x = 3800 , x=200 $$

$$B = 6 \times 200 = 1200$$

Option A is correct.
