Question

If a sum of Rs. 275 is to be divided between Ram and Shyam so that Ram gets 3/4th more of what Shyam gets, then the share of Ram will be.
1. Rs. 100
2. Rs. 160
3. Rs. 175
4. Rs. 200

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 175

Given:

Total sum = Rs 275

Calculation:

Let us assume that Shyam gets = 4x,

Ram will get = (3/4)× 4x more than Shyam = 3x more than Shyam

Ram will get = 4x + 3x = 7x

Now, total sum of money that Ram and Shyam gets will be

7x + 4x = 11x = 275

⇒ x = 275/ 11 = Rs. 25

Ram gets = 25 × 7 = 175

∴ The share of Ram is Rs 175
