Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 2,000

Given:

Total amount which is divided among A, B and C = Rs. 6,300

X : Y = 7 : 5 and Y : Z = 4 : 3

Calculation:

X : Y = 7 : 5     ----(1)

Y : Z = 4 : 3     ----(2)

Multiply by 4 in equation (1) and multiply by 5 in equation (2)

X : Y : Z = 28 : 20 : 15

Ratio of X : Y : Z = 28x : 20x : 15x

According to the question

28x + 20x + 15x = 6,300

⇒ 63x = 6,300

⇒ x = 6,300/63

⇒ x = 100

∴ Share of Y = 20 × 100 = Rs. 2,000
