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.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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
