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.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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
