Question

A sum of money is divided among A, B, C and D in the ratio 3 : 5 : 7 : 11 respectively If the share of C is Rs 1668 more than the share of A then what is the total amount of money of B and D together?

• A. Rs 6762
• B. Rs 6672
• C. Rs 7506
• D. Rs 6255

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Rs 6672

Let the shares of A,B,C,D, be $Rs3x,Rs5x,Rs7xandRs11x$ respectively.
Then, $7x-3x=1668\Rightarrow 4x=1668\Rightarrow x=417\therefore B^{\prime }share+D^{\prime }share=5x+11x=Rs16x=16\times 417=Rs6672$
