Question

A sum of Rs 53 is divided among A, B and C in such a way that A gets Rs 7 more than what B gets and B gets Rs 8 more than what C gets. Find the ratio of the shares.

• A. 10:18:25
• B. 25:18:10
• C. 10:18:25
• D. 5:9:12
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B

25:18:10

Let x be the share C gets.

So B gets x+8 and C gets x+15

x+x+8+x+15=53
So x=10

So ratio of shares = 25:18:10
