An amount of Rs.1560 was divided among A, B and C, in the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4. Find the share of C?
Answer/Solution
277
Steps/Work
Let the shares of A, B and C be a, b and c respectively.
a : b : c = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4
Let us express each term with a common denominator which is the last number divisible by the denominators of each term i.e., 12.
a : b : c = 6/12 : 4/12 : 3/12 = 6 : 4 : 3.
Share of C = 3/13 * 1560 = Rs. 360.
Answer: D
a : b : c = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4
