Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 36 : 52 : 67.
The remaining amount after diminishing the shares = 15525 – (22 + 35 + 48)
= Rs. 15420
Share of Sunil after diminishing = 15420 × 7/30 = Rs. 3598
Share of Anil after diminishing = 15420 × 10/30 = Rs. 5140
Share of Jamil after diminishing = 15420 × 13/30 = Rs. 6682
According to the question,
Ratio of shares
= (3598 + 22 + 16) : (5140 + 35 + 77) : (6682 + 48 + 37)
= 3636 : 5252 : 6767
= 36 : 52 : 67
