Rs A – Rs. 3300, B – Rs. 3500, C – Rs. 3360
Incorrect AnswerRs A – Rs. 3200, B – Rs. 3600, C – Rs. 3360
Correct AnswerRs A – Rs. 3200, B – Rs. 3700, C – Rs. 3260
Incorrect AnswerRs A – Rs. 3200, B – Rs. 3500, C – Rs. 3460
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
A : B : C = (10,000 x 4 + 5000 x 8) : (9000 x 6 + 6000 x 6) : (14000 x 6)
= 80000 : 90000 : 84000 = 40 : 45 : 42
A’s share = Rs. 10160 x 40/127 = Rs. 3200;
B’s share = Rs. 10160 x 45/127 = Rs. 3600;
C’s share = Rs. 10160 x 42/127 = Rs. 3360
