Rs. 1,200 is divided among A, B, and C such that A receives half as much as B, and B half as much as C. What is B’s share?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Total amount = ₹1200
A gets half from B
B gets half from C
Let C = x
B = x/2
A = B/2 = x/4
Therefore, ratio = A : B : C = x/4 : x/2 : x = 1 : 2 : 4
Total ratio = 1 + 2 + 4 = 7
B's share = (2/7) × 1200 = ₹342.86
