A. Rs. 7500

B. Rs. 9000

C. Rs. 9500

D. Rs. 10,000

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

A : B : C
= (20,000 × 24) : (15,000 × 24) : (20,000 × 18)
= 4 : 3 : 3.
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{So B's Share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}25000 \times \frac{3}{{10}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 7500}} \cr} $$

    A:B:C = (20000×24):(15000×24):(20000×18)
    = 480000:360000:360000
    =4:3:3
    [ 480000/360000=48/36=24/18
    =12/9 =4/3]

    A : B : C = (20,000 * 24) : (15,000 * 24) : (20,000 * 18)
    A : B : C = (4 * 24) : (3 * 24) : (4 * 18)
    A : B : C = 96 : 72 : 72.
    Now,
    A : B : C = 4 : 3 : 3
