2. Rs. 3000
3. Rs. 4000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 4000

Given:

A sum of money is distributed among W, X, Y, Z in = 5 ∶ 2 ∶ 4 ∶ 3

Y gets = 2000 more than Z

Calculation:

Let the share of W, X, Y, and Z be 5x, 2x, 4x, and 3x.

∴ 4x – 3x = 2000

⇒ x = 2000

∴ X ‘s share = 2x

⇒ 2 × 2000

⇒ 4000

∴ the share of X is Rs. 4000.
