    Question

    A total of Rs. 1,400 was meant to be distributed between

    A and B in the ratio of 3:7. However, due to an error, it was instead divided in the ratio of 3:5. Determine the difference between the amount A was originally supposed to receive and the amount A actually received.
    A Rs. 105 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 95 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 115 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Original amount to be received by 'A' = (3/10) X 1,400 = Rs. 420

    Actual amount received by 'A' after mistake = (3/8) X 1,400 = Rs. 525

    Therefore, required difference = 525 - 420 = Rs. 105
