Question

The ratio between A, B and C is 2 : 3 : 7. If the share of B is Rs. 15,000, then find the difference between the shares of A and C.

1. Rs. 30,000
2. Rs. 20,000
3. Rs. 25,000
4. Rs. 35,000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 25,000

Given:

Share of A, B, and C = 2 : 3 : 7

Calculation:

Let the share of A, B, and C be 2x, 3x, and 7x respectively

So according to question,

3x = 15000

⇒ x = 5000

∴ Difference between share of A and C = (7x - 2x) = 5x = Rs. 25000
