    Question

    A total of Rs. ‘K’ was to be distributed among X, Y,

    and Z in ratio of 6:5:7 respectively but due to some reason the money was falsely distributed in ratio of 5:6:7 respectively such that Y received Rs. 1200 more. Find the value of 2K.
    A ₹43200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹42000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹40800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹44400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ₹45600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total amount [K] be Rs. 18x
    So, amount which Y was supposed to receive = 18x × (5/18) = Rs. 5x
    Amount which was actually received by Y = 18x × (6/18) = Rs. 6x
    ATQ,
    6x - 5x = 1200
    ⇒ x = 1200
    Also,
    K = 18x = 18 × 1200 = Rs. 21600
    Therefore, required value,
    2K = 2 × 21600 = ₹43200
