Correct Answer - Option 2 : 12000
Given:
Rs. 20,400 has to be divided between A, B, and C so that A gets (2/3)rd of what B gets and B gets (1/4)th of what C gets.
Calculations:
According to the question,
A = (2/3)B, B = (1/4)C
So, A ∶ B ∶ C = (2/3)B ∶ B ∶ (4)B = 2 ∶ 3 ∶ 12
Let A, B, and C be 2x, 3x and 12x respectively.
According to the question
⇒ 2x + 3x + 12x = 20400
⇒ 17x = 20400
⇒ x = 1200
C's share = 1200 × 12 = 14400
A's share = 1200 × 2 = 2400
Difference between C and A = 14400 – 2400 = Rs. 12000
∴ C gets Rs. 12000 more than A.
