Question

A sum of Rs. 9,000 is to be distributed among A, B and C in the ratio of 4 : 5 : 6. What will be the difference between A's and C's shares?

• A. Rs. 600
• B. Rs. 1,000
• C. Rs. 900
• D. Rs. 1,200

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. 1,200

Given, total money $=Rs.9,000$

and $A:B:C=4:5:6$

$A$'s share $=\frac{4}{(4+5+6)}\times 9000=2400$

$B$'s share $=\frac{5}{(4+5+6)}\times 9000=3000$

$C$'s share $=\frac{6}{(4+5+6)}\times 9000=3600$

Hence, the difference between $A$'s share and $C$'s share $=3600-2400$

$=1200$
