Question

A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C and D in the ratio of 7 : 8 : 9 : 10. If C gets Rs. 500 more than B, then how much did D receive?

• A. Rs. 4000
• B. Rs. 3500
• C. Rs. 4500
• D. Rs. 5000

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Rs. 5000

Given:

Proportion of money distributed among A, B, C, D = 7: 8 : 9 : 10.

Money C gets more than B = 500.

Calculation:

Let the shares of A, B, C, D be Rs.7x, Rs.8x, Rs.9x and Rs.10x.

Then, 9x - 8x = 500.

⇒ x = 500.

∴ D's share $=Rs.10x =Rs.(10\times{500}) = Rs.5000$
