A sum of money is divided among A, B and C in the ratio 2 : 3 : 7, respectively. If the share of B is Rs. 15,000, then what will be the difference in the shares of B and C?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs 20,000
∵ A : B : C = 2x : 3x : 7x
∴ 3x = 15000
⇒ x = 5000
7x - 3x = 4x = 4 × 5000 = 20000
The difference between the shares of B and C = Rs.20000
