Question:

A has twice as much money as that of B and B has 30% more money than that of C. If the total money of all of them is Rs. 98, then find the share of B?

Options:

26

52

28

40

Correct Answer:

26

Explanation:

Let C's money = 10R, then

ATQ

B   :   C = 13R  :  10R  and

A   :   B = 26R  :  13R

A : B : C = 26R : 13R : 10R

Here,

⇒ A + B + C = 49R

⇒ 49R = 98

⇒ 1R = 2

Therefore, B = 13R = 13 × 2 = Rs.26
