A sum of ₹8,200 was divided among A, B and C in such a way that A has ₹500 more than B, and C has ₹300 more than A. How much was A’s share (in ₹)?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Total sum of money = 8200
A had Rs. 500 more than B and C had Rs. 300 more than A.
Let the money of B be 'x'
So, money of A = x + 500
Now, money of C = x + 500 + 300 = x + 800
ATQ,
x + x + 500 + x + 800 = 8200
= 3x + 1300 = 8200
= 3x = 6900
x = 2300
So, A's share = 2300 + 500 = Rs. 2800
