A sum of Rs. 4800 is divided among A, B, and C in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. The share of B is how much more than that of A?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rs. 400.
Let shares be 3k, 4k, and 5k
Total = 3k + 4k + 5k = 12k = 4800
⇒ k = 4800/12 = 400
A = 3k = 3 × 400 = 1200
B = 4k = 4 × 400 = 1600
B – A = 1600 - 1200 = 400
