Question

An amount of sum is to be divided between A, B and C in the ratio of 1 : 3 : 4 in this month and the difference between B and C’s share is Rs. 1600. If the total amount becomes twice the next month, find the total amount of the sum in the next month.

• A. Rs. 24800
• B. Rs. 32000
• C. Rs. 28800
• D. Rs. 25600

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Rs. 25600

Total amount in this month = x + 3x + 4x = 8x ⇒ 4x – 3x = 1600 ⇒ x = 1600 Total amount this month = 8 × 1600 = Rs. 12,800 Total amount for next month = Rs. 12,800 × 2 ⇒ Rs. 25,600
