Question 70

A, B, C and D are to share profits in the ratio of 4 : 8: 11 : 15. If the difference between the minimum and maximum proportions is ₹22000, then what is the sum of the other 2 proportions?

Solution

A, B, C and D are to share profits in the ratio of 4 : 8: 11 : 15.

Let's assume the share of A, B, C and D are 4y, 8y, 11y and 15y respectively.

If the difference between the minimum and maximum proportions is ₹22000.

15y-4y = 22000

11y = 22000

y = 2000

The sum of the other 2 proportions = 8y+11y = 19y

= $$19\times2000$$

= ₹38000
