    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
