    Question

    A sum of ₹ 6,270 is divided between A, B and C in such a way that the ratio of A's share to that of B and C combined is 3 : 7 and the ratio of B's ​​share to that of A and C combined is 2 : 9. What is C's share

    A.

    ₹ 3,264

    B.

    ₹ 1,880

    C.

    ₹ 1114

    D.

    ₹ 3,249

    Correct option is D

    Given: 

    A + B +C = 6270 

    A : B + C = 3 : 7 

    B : A + C = 2 : 9 

    Solution:   

    (A : B + C = 3 : 7)  = 10  Unit  ........ (i)

    (B : A + C = 2 : 9 )= 11 Unit .........(ii) 

    in both condition (A + B + C) value is different so we equate  

    equation (i) multiply by 11 and equation (ii) multiply by 10

    then,

    (A : B + C = 3 : 7) x 11  = 10 x11  Unit   

    A :  B + C = 33 : 77  = 110 Unit

    (B : A + C= 2: 9 ) x 10=  11x10 unit 

    B : A + C = 20 : 90 = 110 Unit 

    A = 33 Unit , B = 20 unit C = [110 - (33+20)] = 57

    According to the question 110 unit = 6270 

    1 unit = 6270110\frac{6270}{110} 

    The share of C = 57 unit = 57×6270110\times\frac{6270}{110}  = Rs. 3249​
