A, B, and C divide a certain sum of money among themselves. The average of the amounts with them is Rs. 4520. The share of A is 10% more than the share of B and 33% less than the share of C. What is the share of B (in Rs.)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 3600.
Let the share of B be '300x'
The share of A is 10 % more than B = 332/300 of 300x
⇒ A = 332x
⇒ A is 33(1/3)% less than C = 3/2 of 332
⇒ 3 × 166 = 498x
The sum of the share of A, B, and C = 332x + 300x + 498x
⇒ 1130x = 4520 × 3
⇒ x = 12
⇒ Share of B = 300x
⇒ 300 × 12
⇒ 3600
