A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B and C in proportion of 5 : 7 : 11. If B gets Rs 1,500 more than A, what is B’s share?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Rs 5,250.
Calculations:
Let the sum of money distributed between A, B, and C be 5x, 7x, and 11x
According to the question;
⇒ 7x - 5x = 1500
⇒ 2x = 1500
⇒ x = 750
B's share = 7x = Rs. 5250
