Question

A man had Rs. 3000 with him. He kept Rs. 250 with him and distributed the rest. The ratio of A and B was 5 : 6. The ratio of B and C was 3 : 4 and the ratio of C and D was 4 : 3. Find the amount which C got.

1. Rs. 780
2. Rs. 875
3. Rs. 880
4. Rs. 900
5. Rs. 760

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 880

Given:

Total amount = Rs. 3000

Amount which man kept with himself = Rs. 250

Ratio of amount between A and B = 5 : 6

Ratio of amount between B and C = 3 : 4

Ratio of amount between C and D = 4 : 3

Calculation:

Amount which is for distribution = Rs. (3000 – 250)

⇒ Rs. 2750

According to the question,

A : B = (5 : 6) × 1 = 5 : 6

B : C = (3 : 4) × 2 = 6 : 8

C : D = (4 : 3) × 2 = 8 : 6

So, A : B : C : D = 5 : 6 : 8 : 6

Now, share of C = (8/25) × Rs. 2750

⇒ Rs. 880

∴ The amount what C got is Rs. 880
