A, B and C divide an amount of ₹10,500 amongst themselves in the ratio 5 : 7 : 9, respectively. If each one gets ₹500 more, then what will be the ratio of the amounts with A, B and C?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
A : B : C
5 : 7 : 9 ⇒ 21R = 10500
R = 500
A's share = 5 x 500 = 2500
B's share = 7 x 500 = 3500
C's share = 9 x 500 = 4500
Now, each gets ₹500 more
then,
A : B : C
3000 : 4000 : 5000
3 : 4 : 5
