      Question

      A total of Rs. β€˜K’ was to be distributed among A, B,

      and C in ratio of 3:4:5 respectively but due to some reason the money was falsely distributed in ratio of 4:3:5 respectively such that B received Rs. 2400 less. Find the value of 2K.
      A β‚Ή57600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B β‚Ή55200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C β‚Ή60000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D β‚Ή56400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E β‚Ή58800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total amount [K] be Rs. 12x
      So, amount which B was supposed to receive = 12x Γ— (4/12) = Rs. 4x
      Amount which was actually received by B = 12x Γ— (3/12) = Rs. 3x
      ATQ,
      4x - 3x = 2400
      β‡’ x = 2400
      Also,
      K = 12x = 12 Γ— 2400 = Rs. 28800
      Therefore, required value,
      2K = 2 Γ— 28800 = β‚Ή57600
