Answer/Solution

Steps/Work
Solution
A : B : C =(5000x4+2500x8) : (4500x6+3000x6): (7000x6)
= 40000 : 42000 : 45000 = 4 : 42 : 45.
A’s share = Rs. (5080x40/127) = Rs. 1600.
B’s share = Rs. (5080x45/127) = Rs. 1800.
C’s share = Rs. (5080x42/127) = Rs. 1680. Answer B
A : B : C =(5000x4+2500x8) : (4500x6+3000x6): (7000x6)
= 40000 : 42000 : 45000 = 4 : 42 : 45.
A’s share = Rs. (5080x40/127) = Rs. 1600.
B’s share = Rs. (5080x45/127) = Rs. 1800.
C’s share = Rs. (5080x42/127) = Rs. 1680. Answer B
