Question

Sum of Rs 53 is divided among A, B, C in such a way that A gets Rs 7 more than what B gets and B gets Rs 8 more than what C gets The ratio of their shares is

• A. 16 : 9 : 18
• B. 25 : 18 : 10
• C. 18 : 25 : 10
• D. 15 : 8 : 30

Answer 1

The correct option is B 25 : 18 : 10

Let C gets =x Rs.
Then B gets=x+8 Rs.
and C gets=x+8+7 Rs.
Then according to the question
$x+x+8+x+15=53$
$3x=53-23$
$3x=30$
$x=10$
Then C's share=10 rs.
B's share$=10+8=18Rs$
A's share$=10+15=25Rs$
Hence the ratio of their share=$25:18:10$
