SSC CGL - 15 Sep 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q74

A ₹36,000 annual bonus is distributed among Sales, Marketing, and Operations in a 4:5:3 ratio. Marketing uses ₹3,000 for team building and ₹1,500 for an intern, then allocates the rest to two top performers in a 5:4 ratio. How much does the smaller share receive?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹4,666.67.

Total ratio = 4x + 5x + 3x = 12x

Marketing share = 512×36000\frac{5}{12} \times 36000 = ₹15000

Expenses = 3000 + 1500 = ₹4500

Remaining = 15000 − 4500 = ₹10500

Divide in ratio 5x : 4x

Smaller share = 49×10500 \frac{4}{9} \times 10500  = ₹4666.67
