    Question

    A man is supposed to distribute Rs. 2800 among his three

    sons, A, B, and C in the ratio of 3:4:7, 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 received
    A Rs. 850 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 820 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 860 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 880 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Amount that should be received by A initially = [3/(3 + 4 + 7)] × 2800 = Rs. 600 Amount received by A mistakenly = [5/(5 + 3 + 2)] × 2800 = Rs. 1400 Therefore, required difference = 1400 – 600 = Rs. 800
