A sum of ₹1,500 is divided among A, B, and C in the ratio 2:3:5. Find each share.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Total Amount = ₹1500
Ratio = 2 : 3 : 5
According to the formula:
Share = (Ratio / Total Ratio) × Total Amount
Total Ratio = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
A = (2/10) × 1500 = 300
B = (3/10) × 1500 = 450
C = (5/10) × 1500 = 750
A = ₹300, B = ₹450, C = ₹750
