What is The Total Amount of Money of B and C Together?
A sum of money is divided among A, B, C and D in the ratio of 3:5:8:9 respectively. If the share of D is ₹ 1,872 more than the share of A, then what is the total amount of money of B and C together?
- ₹ 4,056
- ₹ 4, 042
- ₹ 4, 010
- ₹ 4,011
Answer: (1) ₹ 4056
Explanation:-
The ratio of A, B, C and D = 3: 5: 8: 9
Let the share’s A, B, C and D = 3 X, 5 X, 8 X and 9 X
If the share of D is ₹ 1,872 more than the share of A,
Then, 9 X – 3 X = 1,872
6 X = 1872
X = 1872/6
X = 312
Then, the share’s B = 5 X = 5 x 312 = 1560 and the share’s B = 8 X = 8 x 312 = 2496
The total amount of money edupil of B and C = 1560 + 2496
= ₹4056
Hence, the answer is (1) ₹4056
