Question:

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.

Options:

2400

1600

3600

4500

Correct Answer:

4500

Explanation:

Let   A   :  B  = x : y

then, B  :  C  = x : y    ..... (ATQ)

Now, A : B : C = x2 : xy : y

ATQ,

⇒ x2 = 8100 ⇒  x = 90, and

⇒ y= 2500 ⇒  y = 50

Therefore, B's share = xy = 90 × 50 = 4500
