Question
A man is supposed to distribute Rs. 6600 among his three
sons, A, B, and C in the ratio of 4:3:5, 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 = [4/(4 + 3 + 5)] × 6600 = Rs. 2200 Amount received by A mistakenly = [5/(5 + 3 + 2)] × 6600 = Rs. 3300 Therefore, required difference = 3300 – 2200 = Rs. 1100
