Question

Divide ₹500 in the 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 $3x$.

$\Rightarrow$ $2x+3x=5x$

$\therefore 5x=500$

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

A's share = 2(100 ) = ₹200

B's share = 3(100) = ₹300

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