• B. Rs. $400$
• C. Rs. $450$
• D. Rs. $475$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Rs. $400$

$B:C=\left(\begin{array}{c}9\times \frac{4}{9}\end{array}\right):\left(\begin{array}{c}10\times \frac{4}{9}\end{array}\right)=4:\frac{40}{9}$
$A:B:C=5:4:40/9=45:36:40$
Sum of ratio terms $=45+36+40=121$
C"s share $=1210\times \frac{40}{121}=Rs.400$
