Question:

An amount of ₹ 1,200 is distributed among Anil, Mohan and Shyam in the ratio of 5 : 7 : 13. What is the difference between the share of Shyam and Mohan?

Options:

₹ 328

₹ 288

₹ 296

₹ 496

Correct Answer:

₹ 288

Explanation:

Total amount = ₹ 1,200

Anil, Mohan and Shyam received in the ratio = 5 : 7 : 13

According to the question,

5x + 7x + 13x = 1200

25x = 1200

x = 48

Difference between the share of shyam and mohan = 13x - 7x = 6x

so, 6x = 6 × 48 = ₹ 288
