Question

A sum of money is divided between A, B and C in the ratio 10:6:4. If B receives 515 more

than C , how much will A get and what is the total sum of money?

Answer 1

Amount A get = 2,575

Total amount = 5,150

Explanation:

Given:

Ratio between A,B and C = 10:6:4

Assume;

Common ration is 'a'

So,

Amount A get = 10a

Amount B get = 6a

Amount C get = 4a

So,

Amount B get - Amount C get = 515

6a - 4a = 515

2a = 515

a = 257.5

Total amount = 10a + 6a + 4a

Total amount = 20a

Total amount = 20(257.5)

Total amount = 5,150

Amount A get = 10a

Amount A get = 10(257.5)

Amount A get = 2,575
