Rs. 1500 is divided among, A, B and C such that A receives 1/3rd as much as B and C together. A’s share is?
Explanation:
Money received by A, B and C be a, b, c respectively then
a + b + c = 1500 …(i)
also, a = (b + c)/3 ⇒ b + c = 3a …(ii)
Then from (i) and (ii)
a + 3a = 1500
⇒ 4a = 1500 ⇒ a = 375
∴ A’s share is Rs. 375.
Hence, option (c).
