Question
Rs. 1575 was wrongly divided between ‘X’, ‘Y’,
and ‘Z’ in the ratio of 3:4:8, respectively, instead of (1/3):(1/4):(1/8). Amount received by ‘Y’ was how much more/less than the original amount that he should receive.Solution
ATQ Ratio of amount received by ‘X’, ‘Y’, and ‘Z’ respectively, originally = (1/3):(1/4):(1/8)× 24 = 8:6:3 So, the amount that should be received by ‘Y’ originally = (6/17)×1575=Rs.555 Amount received by ‘Y’ actually = (4/15)×1575=Rs.420 Desired difference = 555 – 420 = Rs. 135
