Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2,015 Given: The total amount = 6,045 A's share reduced = Rs.10 B's share reduced = Rs. 15 C's share reduced = Rs. 20 The ratio of their shares after redution = 5 : 4 : 3 Calculations: Let share of A, B, and C after reduction certain amount be 5x, 4x, 3x A's original amount = (5x + 10) B's original amount = (4x + 15) C's original amount = (3x + 20) Total amount = 5x + 10 + 4x + 15+ 3x + 20 ⇒ 12x + 45 = 6045 ⇒ 12x + 45 = 6045 ⇒ 12x = 6000 ⇒ x = 500 B share is = 4x + 15 ⇒ 4 × 500 +15 = 2015 ∴ B share is 2015 |
