      father, mother, and sister in the ratio of 5:4:3. If his sister's share is Rs. 1,950, what is B's total earnings?
      A Rs.12,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.17,300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.15,700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the earnings of B be Rs. 100n

      Amount received by sister = (3/12) × 0.65 × 100n = Rs. 16.25n

      So, 16.25n = 1,950

      Or, n = 120

      Therefore, earnings of B = 120 × 100 = Rs. 12,000
