A certain sum is divided between four people A, B, C and D in the ratio 3 : 4 : 7 : 8, respectively. If the amount received by D is ₹408 more than the amount received by B, what is the total amount received by C and D?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
A : B : C : D
3 : 4 : 7 : 8
⇒ (D - B) = (8 - 4)units = Rs.408
⇒ 4 units = 408
⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 102.
⇒ (C + D) = (7 + 8) x 102 = 15 x 102 = Rs. 1530.
