Question:

Three persons divided Rs.1720 in such a way that the ratio of first to the other two is 27:16. Find the\(\frac{1}{5}\)th part of the difference between the share of first and other two.

Options:

80

440

88

90

Correct Answer:

88

Explanation:

Total amount = Rs.1720 

                          A    :       B+C

                        27     :       16

        Now →  27\(x\) + 16\(x\) = 1720

                                 \(x\) = \(\frac{1720}{43}\) 

Difference = (27\(x\) - 16\(x\)) = \(\frac{1720}{43}\) × 11

                                    = 440

          \(\frac{1}{5}\)th of 440 = \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 440

                                               = 88
