If a sum of ₹1,180 is to be divided among A, B and C,such that 2 times A’s share, 5 times B’s share and 7 times C’s share, are equal, then A’s share is:

Solution

According to the question,

2$$\times A = 5 \times B = 7 \times C$$

Ratio of the share of A, B and C = $$\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{5} : \frac{1}{7} = 35 : 14 : 10$$

A’s share = $$\frac{35}{59} \times 1180$$ = ₹ 700
