Question
A man is supposed to distribute Rs. 5000 among his three
sons, A, B, and C in the ratio of 3:2:5, respectively, but mistakenly he distributed in the ratio of 5:3:2, respectively. Find the difference between amount received by A mistakenly and the amount that A should have actually receivedSolution
Amount that should be received by A initially = [3/(3 + 2 + 5)] × 5000 = Rs. 1500 Amount received by A mistakenly = [5/(5 + 3 + 2)] × 5000 = Rs. 2500 Therefore, required difference = 2500 – 1500 = Rs. 1000
