Question
Some amount was divided among A, B and C in the ratio
3:4:6. If the share of A is 36 less than share of C, then find the 1/4th of total amount (in Rs).Solution
A : B : C = 3 : 4 : 6 A : B : C = 3x : 4x : 6x => A = C – 36 => 3x = 6x – 36 => x = 12 A + B + C = 3x + 4x + 6x = 13x = 13 × 12 = 156 => 1/4 × 156 = 39
