      Question

      A man is supposed to distribute Rs. 2600 among his three

      sons, A, B, and C in the ratio of 3:7:5, respectively, but mistakenly he distributed in the ratio of 4:2:7, respectively. Find the difference between amount received by A mistakenly and the amount that A should have actually received
      A Rs. 280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 270 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 230 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Amount that should be received by A initially = [3/(3 + 7 + 5)] × 2600 = Rs. 520 Amount received by A mistakenly = [4/(4 + 2 + 7)] × 2600 = Rs. 800 Therefore, required difference = 800 – 520 = Rs. 280
