Question

Divide ₹7400 among three people A, B, C in the ratio 3:5:12

Answer 1

Total amount = ₹7400,

Ratio in which A,B,C receive the amount = 3:5:12

$\therefore$ Amounts A,B,C will receive = 3x, 5x, 12x

$\Rightarrow$ 3x + 5x + 12x = ₹7400

$\Rightarrow$ 20x = ₹7400
⇒ x = $\frac{7400}{20}$

⇒ x = 370

$\therefore$ Pat of A = 3x = 3 × 370 = 1110

Part of B = 5x = 5 × 370 = 1850

Part of C = 12x = 12 × 370 = 4440
