Question

Divide ₹ 500 in ratio of 2 :3 between A and B respectively. How much is B's share more than A

• A. ₹ 150
• B. ₹ 100
• C. ₹ 200
• D. ₹ 300

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹ 100

Let A 's share be $2x$ and B's share be $3x$

Hence $2x+3x=5x$

$\therefore 5x=500$

$x=\frac{500}{5}=100$

Hence A's share = 2(100 ) = ₹ 200

B's share = 3(100) = ₹ 300

Hence B has 300 - 200 = ₹ 100 more than A
