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 shares of Shyam and Mohan?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹288
In a ratio 5 : 7 : 13 the amount is split into \(5+7+13=25\) equal parts; Shyam gets 6 parts more than Mohan.
One part \(=\displaystyle\frac{1200}{25}=\) ₹48
Difference \(=(13-7)\times48=6\times48=\) ₹288
