Question
'B' distributes 65% of his total earnings among his
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?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
