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.
Here they have said that C is 1000 more than D so C = 4 - D = 3 = 4 - 3 = 1.

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

A:B:C:D.
5:2:4:3.
5x:2x:4x:3x.
C gets Rs.1000 more than D,
4x=3x+x.
3x+x=3x.
x is extra that is 1000 rs.
B's share is 2x.
That is 2*1000.
2000 B's share.
5:2:4:3.
5x:2x:4x:3x.
C gets Rs.1000 more than D,
4x=3x+x.
3x+x=3x.
x is extra that is 1000 rs.
B's share is 2x.
That is 2*1000.
2000 B's share.

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.

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

@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?

A = 5x . B= 2x C =4x . D = 3x.
(A-B )- ( C-D)
(5x - 2x)-(4x -3x)
3x-1x,
2x,
C D =1000.
X= 2*1000 = 2000,
B = 2000.
(A-B )- ( C-D)
(5x - 2x)-(4x -3x)
3x-1x,
2x,
C D =1000.
X= 2*1000 = 2000,
B = 2000.

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

Simple way to solve:
A : B : C : D = 5 : 2 : 4 : 3.
In this ratio, B's value =2.
B's share =1000(given) * 2 = 2000(option c).
A : B : C : D = 5 : 2 : 4 : 3.
In this ratio, B's value =2.
B's share =1000(given) * 2 = 2000(option c).

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.

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.
