Divide Rs. 1162 among A, B, C in the ratio 35 : 28 : 20?
- Sum of ratio terms = (35 + 28 + 20) = 83.
A's share = Rs. (1162 x (35/83))= Rs. 490;
B's share = Rs. (1162 x(28/83))= Rs. 392;
C's share = Rs. (1162 x (20/83))= Rs. 280
To divide Rs. 1162 among A, B, C in the ratio of 35 : 28 : 20, we need to use the following steps:
• Find the total ratio, which is the sum of the individual ratios. In this case, the total ratio is 35 + 28 + 20 = 83.
• Now divide the total amount of Rs. 1162 by the total ratio, i.e. 1162/83 = 14.
• Multiply the individual ratios with the result of the previous step, i.e.
• For A, 35 x 14 = 490
• For B, 28 x 14 = 392
• For C, 20 x 14 = 280
Therefore, the required division of Rs. 1162 among A, B, C in the ratio of 35 : 28 : 20 is 490, 392 and 280 respectively.
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
