Question

a sum of money is to be distributed among A B C D in the proportion of 5:2:4:3 if C gets Rs 1000 more than D what is share of B ?

Answer 1

`Share \: of\: B =Rs.\: 2000`

Explanation:

Money proportion of A, B, C and D are 5:2:4:3.

So, let the money shares received by A, B, C and D be 5x, 2x, 4x and 3x rupees respectively.

It is given that:

C gets ₹1000 more than D

`\implies Share \: of\: C = Share \: D +1000`

`\implies 4x = 3x +1000`

`\implies 4x - 3x =1000`

`\implies x=1000`

`\implies Share \: of\: B = 2x`

`\implies Share \: of\: B = 2(1000)`

`\implies Share \: of\: B =Rs.\: 2000`
