Question:

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:

Options:

₹ 500

₹ 750

₹ 650

₹ 700

Correct Answer:

₹ 700

Explanation:

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.
