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?
Rs. 500
Rs. 1500
Rs. 2000
None of these
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.

Please explain.

It is very simple Here A:B:C:D::5:2:4:3.

And diff. Between c & d =1000

So share of B = B/C-D*1000 = 2/4-3*1000 = 2000

A B C
3:4
5:6

First multiply AxB as 3x5=15, likewise multiply 4x5=20 and finally multiply 4x6=24.

That is 15:20:24.

@Taha.

A:B = 3:4, B:C = 5:6.

Simplify in easily in this way,

Step 1:
3:4.
5:6.

(3*5) : (5*4) : (6*4) = 15:20:24.

@Balaji: x is just considered as amount is given in propertion. x is a variable to calculate to find the answer

In the question he didn't mention that money is equally distributed, so how could all take it as var x for all?

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

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