Question:

Rs.84000 is divided among A, B and C such that 15% of A's share = 30% of B's share = 25% of C's share. What is the share of A ?

Options:

34000

40000

42000

35000

Correct Answer:

40000

Explanation:

15% of A = 30% of B = 25% of C

          3A = 6B = 5C

A  :  B  :  C = 10 :  5  :  6

      Total = 84000

(10x + 5x + 6x) = 21x = 84000

                  10x = \(\frac{84000}{21}\) × 10

                        = 40000
