    average share is Rs. 4860. X receives 12.5% more than Y, and 25% less than Z. What is the share of Y?
    A 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2860 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1670 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let share of Y = Rs. 80x

    Share of X = 80x + (12.5% of 80x) = Rs. 90x

    Share of Z = (4/3) × 90x = Rs. 120x

    Total amount = 4860 × 3 = Rs. 14580

    So, 80x + 90x + 120x = 14580

    ⇒ 290x = 14580

    ⇒ x = 50

    So, share of Y = 80x = 80 × 50 = Rs. 4000
