Question

Divide Rs 5600 between A, B and C in the ratio 1 : 3 : 4.

Answer 1

Sum of the ratio terms is (1 + 3 + 4) = 8

We have the following:

A's share = Rs 5600 $\times \frac{1}{8}=\mathrm{Rs}\frac{5600}{8}=\mathrm{Rs}700$

B's share = Rs 5600 $\times \frac{3}{8}=\mathrm{Rs}700\times 3$ = Rs 2100

C's share = Rs 5600 $\times \frac{4}{8}=\mathrm{Rs}700\times 4$ = Rs 2800
