Practicing Success
In a business, A and B gained some amount in a certain ratio, and B and C received the profit in the ratio as that of A and B. If A received 8100 and C received 2500. Find the share of B. |
2400 1600 3600 4500 |
4500 |
Let A : B = x : y then, B : C = x : y ..... (ATQ) Now, A : B : C = x2 : xy : y2 ATQ, ⇒ x2 = 8100 ⇒ x = 90, and ⇒ y2 = 2500 ⇒ y = 50 Therefore, B's share = xy = 90 × 50 = 4500 |
