The ratio of the money with Geeta and Radha is 7 : 15 and that of the money with Radha and Savitha is 7 : 16. If Geeta has Rs 980, how much money does Savitha have?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs 4,800.
Calculation:
The ratio of the money between Geeta and Radha is 7 : 15
The ratio of the money between Radha and Savitha is 7 : 16
Here the ratio of money Radha has in both cases must be equal
Geeta and Radha = 7 : 15 [multiply by 7]
Radha and Savitha = 7 : 16 [multiply by 15]
Thus,
Geeta : Radha : Savitha = 49 : 105 : 240
Let the money with Geeta, Radha, and Savitha be 49x, 105x and 240x.
According to the question;
⇒ 49x = 980
⇒ x = 20
Hence, the required amount with Savitha = 240 × 20 = Rs 4,800
