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.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
