A sum of 150 is to be divided among A, B, and C. The ratio of A's share to B's share is 3:5, and the ratio of B's share to C's share is 5:7. What is B's share?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Total amount = 150
A : B = 3 : 5
B : C = 5 : 7
A : B : C = 3 : 5 : 7
Total ratio = 3 + 5 + 7 = 15
B's share = (5/15) × 150 = 50
B's share = ₹50
