Question

If Rs. $2,600$ is divided among three persons $A,B$ and $C$ in the ratio $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$, how much does $A$ get?

• A. Rs. $600$
• B. Rs. $800$
• C. Rs. $1.000$
• D. Rs. $1,200$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $1,200$

Among three persons Rs. $2600$ is divided in the ratio as $\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{4}$.

LCM of $\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$ is $6:4:3$.
Therefore, $A$'s share $=\frac{6}{13}\times 2,600=$ Rs. $1,200$.
