Question

    A and B together have total of Rs.5600 out of which they

    donated 10% to the orphanage school. The remaining amount is to be then redistributed between them in such a manner that A gets 40% more amount than B. If the amount received by A is Rs.3X, then find the value of [(X/7) + 14].
    A 125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 136 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 154 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the amount received by B be Rs.P. Therefore, amount received by A = 1.40 x P = Rs.1.4P According to the question, => (P + 1.4P) = 5600 x 0.90 => 2.4P = 5040 => P = 2100 Share of A = 5040 – 2100 = Rs.2940 So, 3X = 2940 => X = 980 Required value = [(X/7) + 14] = 140 + 14 = 154
