A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of 5 : 2 : 4 : 3. If C gets Rs. 1000 more than D, what is B's share?
A. Rs. 500
B. Rs. 1500
C. Rs. 2000
D. None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectivelyThen, 4x - 3x = 1000
⇒ x = 1000
∴ B's share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000
This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Ratio
A:B:C:D = 5:2:4:3
LET A=5000, B=2000 C=4000 D=3000
HERE C=4000 AND D= 3000 SO, C IS GETTING 1000 MORE THAN D
(CONDITION SATISFIED)
NATURALLY A=5000 AND B= 2000
SO, B'S SHARE =2000
