Question:

Ram Lal distributed ₹43010 among his three sons A, B, C in such a way that the amount of their parts at 10% simple interest in 2 years, 3 years and 4 years will be equal. B's share is?

Options:

11860

12790

14280

13500

Correct Answer:

14280

Explanation:

Let the three parts = P1, P2, P3

⇒ Total interest on P1 = 10 × 2 = 20%

⇒ Total interest on P2 = 10 × 3 = 30%

⇒ Total interest on P3 = 10 × 4 = 40%

ATQ,

P1 × 120% = P2 × 130% = P3 × 140%

P1 × 12 = P2 × 13 = P3 × 14

P1 : P2 : P3 = 91 : 84 : 78 = 253R

⇒ 253R = 43010

⇒ R = 170

B's share  = 84R = 14280
