A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of 5 : 2 : 4 : 3. If C gets Rs. 1000 more than D, what is B's share?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then, 4x - 3x = 1000
x = 1000.
B's share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000.

Let their Ratio =5X,2X,4X,3X C+1000=D,C-D=1000,4X-3X=1000,X=1000,B=2X=2.1000=2000

Ramesh even I had calculated in the same way as per ur 1st comment.
But,this assumption might go wrong as per different values.
Like some people might assume D value as 500.
then C becomes 1500....
So, better to follow the calculation formulas dear :)

Dear Shrona i think u are wrong if u take D=500 then C should be 4*500=2000 not 1000 more than D am i correct if not explain me.

Answer is 2:5
Reason: Let X is orange, Y is apple.
given as 15x+7y=10x+9y
s0, 15x-10x=9y-7y
5x=2y
x/y=2/5
so, x:y=2:5

Hi,
This sum can be solved very simply without using paper and pen also. First read the question properly.
C is getting Rs 1000 more than D so C is having more money than D.
C is having 4x and D is having 3x, the difference between both is given as 1000. So 4x-3x=1000, x=1000. So C is having 4000.
How much money B is having ? B is having half of the money with C, because B is 2x. C is 4x so B =2000 (half of the money OF C).

Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively.
C gets Rs. 1000 more than D.
So we take, C+1000 = D.
3x+1000 = 4x (put C=3x,D=4x).
1000 = 4x-3x.
x = 1000.
B's share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000.
C gets Rs. 1000 more than D.
So we take, C+1000 = D.
3x+1000 = 4x (put C=3x,D=4x).
1000 = 4x-3x.
x = 1000.
B's share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000.

Hai its so simple.
Here C gets 1000 more than D,
So,
C and D Ratio is 4:3.
So difference 4-3 is 1.
So 1 part = 1000.
Here b ratio is 2.
2*1000 = 2000.
Here C gets 1000 more than D,
So,
C and D Ratio is 4:3.
So difference 4-3 is 1.
So 1 part = 1000.
Here b ratio is 2.
2*1000 = 2000.

Anybody can help me out in this question.
If A : B = 3 : 4 & B : C = 5 : 6 then A : B : C equals.
If A : B = 3 : 4 & B : C = 5 : 6 then A : B : C equals.

The common term from both ratios is 'B'.
So the solution will be,
5 (A:B) :4 (B:C).
In 5 (A:B) , the value 5 corresponds to the value of B in second ratio.
Similarly, in 4 (B:C) , the value 4 corresponds to the value of B in the first ratio.
Thus, 5 (A:B) :4 (B:C) = 5 (3:4) :4 (5:6).
= (15:20) : (20:24).
= (15:20:24).
