Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs 100.
Given:
A sum of money is divided among A, B and C in the ratio 3 : 2 : 5
If the share of C is Rs 300 more than B
Calculations:
Let the share of A, B and C be 3x, 2x and 5x.
According to the question;
⇒ 5x - 2x = 300
⇒ 3x = 300
⇒ x = 300/3 = 100
Hence, A will get more money than B = 3x - 2x = x = Rs 100
