    Question

    An amount of 62 is divided among A, B and C such that A

    gets ₹12 more than B and B gets ₹10 more than C. What is the ratio of their share? 
    A 8:3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15:9:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16:10:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let C’s share = ₹x B gets ₹10 more, so B = ₹(x + 10) A gets ₹12 more than B, so A = ₹(x + 22) Total amount is ₹62,  So,(x+22)+(x+10)+x=62 On simplifying, we get: 3x+32=62 3x=30 ⇒ x=10 Now, their shares: C = ₹10, B = ₹20, A = ₹32 Ratio A : B : C = 32:20:10 = 16:10:5 Hence, the ratio of their share is 16:10:5.
