If Rs. 4200 is distributed among A, B., and C such that A : B = 2 : 3 and B: C = 6 : 5, then find the share of B.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Rs. 1680.
A : B = (2 : 3) × 2 = 4 : 6
B: C = (6 : 5) × 1 = 6 : 5
So, the ratio of A : B : C = 4 : 6 : 5
Total amount distributed = Rs 4200
So, the share of B = 4200/(4 + 6 + 5) × 6
= 4200/15 × 6
= Rs 1680
