A sum of Rs. 1360 has been divided among A, B and C such that A gets of what B gets and B gets of what C gets. B's share is:
Rs. 120
Rs. 160
Rs. 240
Rs. 300
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let C's share = Rs. x

Then, B's share = Rs. x ,   A's share = Rs. 2 x x = Rs. x
4 3 4 6

x + x + x = 1360
6 4

17x = 1360
12

x = 1360 x 12 = Rs. 960
17

Hence, B's share = Rs. 960 = Rs. 240.

x/6+x/4+x/1=1360
(2x+3X+12x)/12=1360

HERE 12 IS LCM OF 2,4,1

How 12 will come?

Somya said:   1 decade ago
x/6 + x/4+ x/1 =1360
l.c.m of6,4 &1 is 12
so 2x + 3x+ 12x/12=1360
17x/12=1360

This way is comes 17x/12 sabri
