Three brothers divided Rs.1210 among them in such a way that the share of the second is equal to \(\frac{3}{8}\) of the other two. Find the share of the second one.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
A + C : B
Shares → 8 : 3
Total amount = 1210
8x + 3x = 1210
x = \(\frac{1210}{11}\)
3x = \(\frac{1210}{11}\) × 5 = 550
