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: |
₹ 500 ₹ 750 ₹ 650 ₹ 700 |
₹ 700 |
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. |
