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 suppose total sum of money is 'X'.
And total of the proportion is 5+2+4+3 = 14.
So one unit of the proportion is X/14.
Then C gets X/14*4 and D gets X/14*3.
According to question C gets 1000 more than D.
So (X/14*4)-(X/14*3) = 1000 solving this we get.
X = 14000.
So, B's share is X/14*2.
= 14000/14*2 = 2000.
And total of the proportion is 5+2+4+3 = 14.
So one unit of the proportion is X/14.
Then C gets X/14*4 and D gets X/14*3.
According to question C gets 1000 more than D.
So (X/14*4)-(X/14*3) = 1000 solving this we get.
X = 14000.
So, B's share is X/14*2.
= 14000/14*2 = 2000.

Look for first let the cost be x.
5x 2x 4x 3x.
Then the say C has 1000 rs more than D.
So C-D = 1000.
C = 4x and D = 3x.
4x-3x = 1000.
x = 1000.
B = 2xx.
Therefore B = 2*x\2*1000.
= 2000!
5x 2x 4x 3x.
Then the say C has 1000 rs more than D.
So C-D = 1000.
C = 4x and D = 3x.
4x-3x = 1000.
x = 1000.
B = 2xx.
Therefore B = 2*x\2*1000.
= 2000!

The sum can be solved more easily.
The parts of c and d = 4:3.
The difference between the parts is 1.
So 1-1000.
2-? = 2000.
The parts of c and d = 4:3.
The difference between the parts is 1.
So 1-1000.
2-? = 2000.

@Ramesh, I have a question.
If give A : B is 8 : 3, B : C is 1 : 3 and the difference of A and C is 6, how do I get the value of B?

It can also be solved in this way;
Suppose the total amount is x.
Total of the ratios is 14.
C's share:
4/14 x = 3/14x + 1000( c get 1000 more of d, d share is 3/14 x).
4/14 x - 3/14 x = 1000.
(1/14)x = 1000.
x = 14000.
B's share:
= 2/14 * 14000.
= 2000.
Suppose the total amount is x.
Total of the ratios is 14.
C's share:
4/14 x = 3/14x + 1000( c get 1000 more of d, d share is 3/14 x).
4/14 x - 3/14 x = 1000.
(1/14)x = 1000.
x = 14000.
B's share:
= 2/14 * 14000.
= 2000.
