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.

According to the given solution that;

3x+1000=4x but x =2000 but it doesn't satisfy this equation.

If rs 420 is divided between a and b in the ratio 3:4 then what is A's share? Explain properly.

A:B = 3:4.

B:C = 5:6.

According to continuous proportion,

A:B:C = 3*5:4*5:4*6 = 15:20:24.

Let the shares of A, B, C, D.

= 5x-2x = 3.

= 4x-3x = 1.

B's Share = 2x1000 = 2000.

The difference between C=4 and D=3 is 1.

1 = 1000.

B's share = 1000 × 2= 2000.

a=5000, b=2000, c=4000, d=3000 c value greater then d 1000.
So, B shear 2000.
