Rs. 3,600 is divided between Seema, Komal and Rita, such that the ratios of the shares of Seema : Komal = 1.5 : 2 and Komal : Rita = 2 : 2.5. Find Rita's share.
A. Rs. 1,500
B. Rs. 1,300
C. Rs. 1,400
D. Rs. 1,200
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Ratio of shares of Seema and Komal = 1.5x : 2xRatio of shares of Komal and Rita = 2x : 2.5x
Ratio of shares of Seema, Komal and Rita = 1.5x : 2x : 2.5x
According to the question
1.5x + 2x + 2.5x = 3600
⇒ 6x = 3600
⇒ x = $$\frac{{3600}}{6}$$
⇒ x = 600
∴ Share of Rita = 2.5 × 600 = Rs. 1,500
