Question

Divide Rs.$290$ among A, B, C in the ratio $\frac{3}{2},\frac{5}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$.

• A. $120,100,30$
• B. $120,30,60$
• C. $30,60,15$
• D. $60,50,15$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $120,100,30$

The L.C.M of $2,4,8$ is $8$.
So we have $\frac{3}{2}\times 8:\frac{5}{4}\times 8:\frac{3}{8}\times 8=12:10:3$
Therefore, share of $A=\frac{12}{29}\times 290=Rs.120$
Share of B $=\frac{10}{29}\times 290=Rs.100$
Share of C $=\frac{3}{29}\times 290=Rs.30$
