Question:

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.

Options:

480

500

550

670

Correct Answer:

550

Explanation:

                   A + C    :          B

  Shares →      8       :           3

Total amount = 1210

 8x + 3x = 1210

 x = \(\frac{1210}{11}\)

 3x = \(\frac{1210}{11}\) × 5 = 550
