Question:

If we divide a sum of ₹455 in the ratio 4 : 3, the larger share (in ₹) is:

Options:

235

260

195

175

Correct Answer:

260

Explanation:

Let the two parts be 4x and 3x. Then, the sum of the two parts is 4x + 3x = 7x, which should be equal to 455.

⇒ 7x = 455
⇒ x = 65

Therefore, the two parts are 4x = 4 × 65 = 260

and 3x = 3 × 65 = 195.

The correct answer is Option (2) → 260
