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.

A = 5.
Here they have said that C is 1000 more than D so C = 4 - D = 3 = 4 - 3 = 1.
1 unit = 1000 then 2 units would be 2 * 1000 = 2000.
B = 2,
C = 4,
D = 3.

B = 2,
C = 4,
D = 3.

The amount of C be 4x and amount of D be 3x difference equals to x equals to 1 thousand so x equals to 1000.
B equals to 2x equals to 2 * 1000 equals to 2000.
B equals to 2x equals to 2 * 1000 equals to 2000.

According to the given solution that;
3x+1000=4x but x =2000 but it doesn't satisfy this equation.
3x+1000=4x but x =2000 but it doesn't satisfy this equation.

How to solve this problem? Please help me.
Divide rupees 500 between A, B and C so that A gets 2/3 of what B gets and B gets 1/4 of what C gets. Find the share of each.

@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?

@Santosh, Money is not equally distributed that is already given in question. Are you have some difficulty understanding this 5x thing?

C = D + 1000
4x/14 = (3x/14) + 1000.
4x/14 = (3x+14000)/14.
Cancel 14 both sides,
4x - 3x = 14000.
X = 14000.
Then,
B = 2/14 × 14000.
B's share is 2000.
4x/14 = (3x/14) + 1000.
4x/14 = (3x+14000)/14.
Cancel 14 both sides,
4x - 3x = 14000.
X = 14000.
Then,
B = 2/14 × 14000.
B's share is 2000.

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