A sum of ₹ x was divided between A, B, C and D in the ratio $\frac{1}{3}: \frac{1}{5}: \frac{1}{6}: \frac{1}{9}$. If the difference between the shares of B and D is ₹832, then the value of x is: |
₹7,592 ₹7,384 ₹7,696 ₹7,488 |
₹7,592 |
Given, A : B : C : D \(\frac{1}{3}\) : \(\frac{1}{5}\) : \(\frac{1}{6}\) : \(\frac{1}{9}\) ⇒ Taking LCM = 90, ⇒ Now, A : B : C : D = 30 : 18 : 15 : 10, ⇒ B - D = (18 - 10) units = Rs. 832, ⇒ 8 units = 832, ⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 104 ⇒ x = (A + B + C + D) x 104 = (30 + 18 + 15 + 10) x 104 = 73 x 104 = Rs. 7592. |
