The ratio of the bank balance of three brothers A, B and C is 10 : 12 : 5 |
Suppose the balances are 10x, 12x and 5x. |
|
B transfers Rs 60,000 from his account to C's. The new ratio of the bank balances becomes 10 : 9 : 8 |
So, 10x : (12x – 60000) = 10 : 9 ⇒ 90x = 120x – 600000 ⇒ 30x = 600000 ⇒ x = 20000 Hence, Bank balance of A = 10x = Rs. 200000 |
