Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : C

Given:

Total amount = Rs. 95

Ratio of distribution = 2 ∶ 3 ∶ 6 ∶ 8

Calculations:

Let the money divided in four parts be 2x, 3x, 6x and 8x.

2x + 3x + 6x + 8x = 95

⇒ 19x = 95

⇒ x = 5

First part = 2x

⇒ 2 × 5 = Rs. 10

Second part = 3x

⇒ 3 × 5 = Rs. 15

Third part = 6x

⇒ 6 × 5 = Rs. 30

Fourth part = 8x

⇒ 8 × 5 = Rs. 40

∴ The proportion of rupees is 10, 15, 30 & 40.
