    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let shares of Anoop, Bishnu, Chinky and Danny are ‘p’, ‘q’, ‘r’ and ‘s’ respectively. So, (p – q) = (r – s) ---------(1) q/r = 2/3 ---------(2) And, p/s = 5/4 ---------(3) From equations (1), (2) and (3): (p – q) = (3q/2) – (4p/5) p + (4p/5) = (3q/2) + q 9p/5 = 5q/2 p/q = 25/18 Let Anoop’s and Bishnu’s shares be ‘25a’ and ‘18a respectively. So, Chinky’s share = 18a × (3/2) = 27a And Danny’s share = 25a × (4/5) = 20a Required ratio = 25a: 18a: 27a: 20a = 25: 18: 27: 20
