A sum of ₹1200 is divided among A, B, and C in the ratio 2:3:5. How much does B receive?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Total amount = ₹1200
A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 5
Formula:
Amount of any part = (its proportion / total proportion) × total amount
Total proportion = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
B's share = (3 / 10) × 1200 = 360
