A sum of Rs 1,50,000 is distributed among three persons - A, B and C - so that they receive 20%, 30% and 50%, respectively. A receives the same amount from another sum of money which is distributed among them so that they receive 50%, 30% and 20%, respectively. Find the total amount received from both sums of money, by B.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs 63,000
The amount received by A = 20% of 150000 = 30000.
The amount received by B = 30% of 150000 = 45000
The amount received by C = 50% of 150000 = 75000.
A receive the same amount of money which is 50% of the total money.
50% of x = 30000
x = 60000
Amount received by B from the second amount = 30% of 60000 = 18000
Total amount received by B = 45000 + 18000 = 63000.
