A sum of money is divided among A, B, C and D in the ratio of 3 : 7 : 9 : 13 respectively. If the share of B is Rs. 9180 more than the share of A. then what is the total amount of money of A and C together?

• A. Rs. 27540
• B. Rs. 26560
• C. Rs.26680
• D. Rs. 24740

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. 27540

Let shares of$A,B,CandD$ be $3x,7x,9xand13x$ rupees respectively. According to the question, $(7x-3x)=9380$

$\Rightarrow$ 4x = 9180 $\Rightarrow$ x = 2295

Total amount of $(A+C)=(3x+9x)=12x$

= 12$\times$ 2295 = $27540$
