A sum of ₹5100 is divided amongst A, B and C, such that the ratio of shares of A and B is 1 : 2 and that of B and C is 3 : 4. Find the sum of the shares of A and B.

Options:

₹3400

₹3060

₹2880

₹2700

Correct Answer:

₹2700

Explanation:

Total sum = 5100

Combined ratio of A, B and C,

A and B is 1 : 2, B and C is 3 : 4

A : B : C = 3 : 6 : 8 = 17x (total)

17x = 5100

x = 300

A + B = 9x = 2700
