Question
Rs. 870 was to be divided among D, E, and F in the ratio
(1/2):(1/5):(1/3). By mistake, it was shared in the ratio 18:9:13. Find how much extra amount E received. (Calculate approximate value)Solution
ATQ,
L.C.M of 2, 5, and 3 = 30
Converted ratio = (15:6:10)
Total parts = 15 + 6 + 10 = 31
Correct share of E = 870 × (6/31) = Rs. 168.39 (approx)
Incorrect share of E = 870 × (9/40) = Rs. 195.75
Excess = 195.75 – 168.39 = Rs. 27.36 (approx)
