SSC CHSL - 6 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q83

₹481 is distributed among A, B, and C in such a way that B gets two-thirds of what A gets and C gets three-fourths of what B gets. How much does B get?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. ₹148.

Understanding

Total money to be distributed = Rs 481

According to the question;

Let ;

Money received by A =  x

Money received by B = (2/3)x

Money received by A = (3/4)(2/3) x =(2/3)x

Then;

x + (2/3)x + (2/3)x = 481

x = 222

Money received by B = (2/3)x = (2/3) × 222 = 148
