A sum of money is distributed among A, B and C in the ratio 8 : 4 : 3. If A divides his part between D and E in the ratio 9 : 7, then what is the ratio of the share of C to that of D?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
A : B : C
8 : 4 : 3
Multiplying by 2,
16 : 8 : 6
Now, A's part is divided among D and E in the ratio = 9 : 7
Ratio of C and D = 6 : 9 = 2: 3
