A person distributed Rs. 1872 among Arpit, Romesh and Jitesh such that 8 times Romesh's share is equal to 12 times Jitesh's share or 3 times Arpit's share. How much does Romesh get?
Explanation:
Let their shares be A, R and J respectively.
∴ 8R = 12J = 3A
⇒ J = 2R/3 and A = 8R/3
Also, A + R + J = 1872
⇒ 8R/3 + R + 2R/3 = 1872
⇒ 13R/3 = 1872
⇒ R = 1872 × 3/13 = 432
Hence, option (c).
