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
