Question

The sum of Rs. $750$ is distributed among A, B, C and D in such a manner that A gets as much as B and C together, B gets Rs. $125$ more than C, D gets as much as C. What is A's share?

• A. Rs. $100$
• B. Rs. $225$
• C. Rs. $275$
• D. Rs. $325$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $325$

$A+B+C+D=750$...........(1)

$A=B+C$, $B=C+125$, $D=C$

Substituting above values in equation 1

$(C+125+C)+(C+125)+C+C=750$

$5C=750-250$

$5C=500$

$C=100$

$\therefore$ $B=100+125=225$

$\therefore$ $A=B+C=100+225-325$
