If Rs 39,500 is divided into three parts in the ratio 24 : 15 : 40, then what is the value of the third part, in the given order?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs 20,000.
Calculations:
Let the three parts be 24x, 15x and 40x.
According to the question;
⇒ 24x + 15x + 40x = 39500
⇒ 79x = 39500
⇒ x = 500
Hence, the required value of the third part = 40 × 500 = 20000
