      Question

      An amount of money is divided among L, M and N in the

      ratio of 3:4:5, respectively. If the amount received by N is Rs.2000 more than the amount received by M, then what is the total amount received by L and M together?
      A 15000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 18000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 14000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Ratio = 3 : 4 : 5 = 3x : 4x : 5x => N = 2000 + M => N – M = 2000 => 5x – 4x = 2000 => x = 2000 Total amount received by L and M = 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 × 2000 = Rs. 14000
