Rs. 960 is to be divided among A, B and C in such a way that each of them would receive Rs. 20 less and their shares should be in ratio of 5 : 7 : 4. Find the twice of the original amount that C has with him?1). Rs. 4502). Rs. 4003). Rs. 5004). Rs. 600

Answer»

Since Rs. 20 is less with all the three and it is less from the original amount so we have

Total money left = 960 - (20 + 20 + 20) = Rs.900

According to the question

5x + 7x + 4X = 900

⇒ 16x = 900

X = 56.25

SHARE of A = 5 × 56.25 = 281.25

Share of B = 7 × 56.25 = 393.75

Share of C = 4 × 56.25 = 225

∴ Twice of C’s original share = 2 × 225 = Rs. 450
