    A total amount of Rs. 1220 is to be divided between two

    friends, Ram and Ranjan, in the ratio (7/9):(11/12). What is the difference between the amounts received by Ram and Ranjan?
    A Rs 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of amounts received by Ram and Ranjan = (7/9):(11/12)
    Multiplying throughout by 36, we get
    Ratio of amounts received by Ram and Ranjan = 28:33
    So, required difference = 1220 × {(33 – 28)/(28 + 33)} = Rs. 100
