Rs. 2010 are to be divided among A, B, C in such a way that if A gets Rs. 5, then B must get Rs. 12 and if B gets Rs. 4, then C must get Rs. 5.50. The share of C will exceed that of B by -
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{A}}:{\text{B}} = 5:12 \cr
& {\text{B}}:{\text{C}} = 4:5.50 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 12:16.5 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 12:\frac{{33}}{2} \cr
& {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} = 5:12:\frac{{33}}{2} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 10:24:33 \cr
& {\text{Sum of ratio terms}} \cr
& = 10 + 24 + 33 \cr
& = 67 \cr
& {\text{C's share}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {2010 \times \frac{{33}}{{67}}} \right) \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}990 \cr
& B'{\text{s share}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {2010 \times \frac{{24}}{{67}}} \right) \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}.720 \cr
& {\text{Required difference}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {990 - 720} \right) \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}270 \cr} $$
