Question

Out of a total amount of Rs.4740, B receives 20% more than A and 25% more than C. What is B's share?

• A. Rs.1080
• B. Rs.1800
• C. Rs.1440
• D. Rs.1500
• E. Rs.960

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs.1800

Let the amount of money A has `x'

The amount of money B has `1.2x'

Thus, the amount of money C has `0.96x'

Now,

x +1.2x +0.96x = 4740

$\Rightarrow$ 3.16x = 4740

$\Rightarrow$ x = 1500

Solving we get amount of money for B $\Rightarrow$ 1.2x = Rs.1800
