A, B and C divide an amount of Rs 10,500 amongst themselves in the ratio 5 : 7 : 9, respectively. If each one gets Rs 500 more, then what will be the ratio of the amounts with A, B and C?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 3 : 4 : 5
Share of A = 10500 × 5/21 = 2500
Share of B = 10500 × 7/21 = 3500
Share of C = 10500 × 9/21 = 4500
If each gets Rs. 500 more then the amount got by A, B and C = 3000, 4000 and 5000.
Ratios of new share = 3000 : 4000 : 5000 = 3 :4 : 5.
