    Paritosh and Ashutosh in such a way that Animesh’s share is `1(4)/(5)` times of Paritosh’s and Paritosh’s share is `1(2)/(3)` times of Ashutosh’s share. What is Paritosh’s share?
    A Rs.14,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C Rs.16,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data Inadequate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let us assume that Paritosh’s share = 1 ∴ Animesh’s share = 9/5 and Ashutosh’s share = 3/5 ∴ Ratio of Animesh’s, Paritosh’s and Ashutosh’s share = 9/5 : 1 : 3/5 = 9 : 5 : 3 Sum of ratio terms = 9 + 5 + 3 = 17 ∴ Paritosh’s share = 5/17 × 51,000 = Rs. 15,000
