Question
If a sum of money is to be divided among A, B, C such
that A’s share is equal to thrice B’s share and B’s share is 8 times C’s share then their shares are in the ratio:Solution
Ratio of shares of A and B = 3:1 Ratio of shares of B and C = 8:1 Ratio of shares of A, B and C = 3 x 8: 1 x 8: 1 x 1 = 24:8:1
