      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)
      A Rs.27.36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.85.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.2.31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.65.27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      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)
