If a sum of ₹1,180 is to be divided among A, B and C, such that 2 times A’s share, 5 times B’s share and 7 times C’s share, are equal, then A’s share is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Here,
2A = 5B = 7C
⇒ Taking LCM as 70
⇒ A : B : C = 35 : 14 : 10
⇒ (35 + 14 + 10)units = Rs. 1180
⇒ 59 units = 1180
⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 20
⇒ A's share = 35 x 20 = Rs. 700.
