Question
A sum of ₹5000 is to be distributed among A, B, and
C. A receives 2 times the amount received by B, and B receives 3 times the amount received by
C. Find the share of
B.
Solution
Let the share of C be x. Then, the share of B is 3x, and the share of A is 2 × 3x = 6x. The total sum is ₹5000: x + 3x + 6x = 5000 10x = 5000 x = 500 Thus, the share of B = 3x = 3 × 500 = ₹1500.
