Three brothers divided 1620 among them in such a way that the share of the second is equal to \(\frac{5}{13}\) of the other two. Find the share of the second one.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
A + C : B
Shares → 13 : 5
Total amount = 1620
13x + 5x = 1620
x = \(\frac{1620}{18}\)
5x = \(\frac{1620}{18}\) × 5 = 450
