Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Let the share of C = x Then, share of $ B=\frac{1}{4}x $ Share of A $ =\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{4}x=\frac{1}{6}x $ Now, $ x+\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{6}x=510 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 12x+3x+2x=510\times 12 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 17x=510\times 12 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x\frac{x}{200}=1 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=Rs.360 $ B’s share $ =\frac{1}{4}\times 360=Rs.90 $ A’s share $ =\frac{1}{6}\times 360=Rs.60 $
