A man divides Rs 1,100 among three kids in the ratio 1/2: 2/5: 3/4. What is the share of the kid who got the maximum share?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Rs 500.
Given:
Total amount = Rs 1,100
Given, ratio = 1/2 : 2/5 : 3/4
Simplifying, ratio = 10 : 8 : 15
Now, the value of the maximum share = 1,100/(10 + 8 + 15) × 15
⇒ 1,100/33 × 15
⇒ 100/3 × 15
⇒ 500
Hence, the required maximum share is Rs 500.
