Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Let the principal with A, B and C be a, b and c, respectively.
Now, 110% of a = 115% of b = 120% of c = k [let]
So, $ a:b:c=\frac{1}{110}:\frac{1}{115}:\frac{1}{120}=\frac{1}{22}:\frac{1}{23}:\frac{1}{24} $
$ a:b:c=23\times 24:22\times 24:22\times 23 $
$ =552:528:506 $
$ \therefore $ Loan received by $ A=\frac{23\times 24}{1586}\times 7930=2760 $
