Answer: Option
Explanation:
| A : B = |  |
4x x 3 + |  |
4x - | 1 | x 4x |  |
x 7 |  |
: | |
5x x 3 + | |
5x - | 1 | x 5x | |
x 7 | |
| 4 | 5 |
= (12x + 21x) : (15x + 28x)
= 33x :43x
= 33 : 43.
 A's share = Rs. |
|
760 x | 33 | |

4x*3+3x*7 : 5x*3+4x*7,
=> 12x+21x : 15x+28x,
=> 33x : 43x,
=> 33 : 43,
A's share = 33/76*760 = 330,
330 is the answer.
=> 12x+21x : 15x+28x,
=> 33x : 43x,
=> 33 : 43,
A's share = 33/76*760 = 330,
330 is the answer.

Assume total capital is Rs. 900.
And divide into the ratio of 4 : 5.
After that A's capital = 400 and B's capital = 500.
Then after deducted 1/4 and 1/5 from the respective capital.
we get the ratio of 3 : 4.
And divide Rs. 760 in the ratio of 3 : 4 then you can get 330 (approx).

Here, it will be (4x-1/4*4x) : (5x-1/5*5x) = 3x : 4x.
