An amount of money is to be divided between Paras, Ramesh and Aarav in the ratio of 5 : 8 : 15. If the difference between Ramesh and Aarav's share is Rs. 6000, then find the total amount of money?

Correct option is B

Given:
The ratio of the distribution of money among Paras, Ramesh, and Aarav = 5 : 8 : 15
The difference between Ramesh and Aarav's share = Rs. 6000
Solution:
Let the money got by Paras, Ramesh, and Aarav be 5x, 8x, and 15x.
Given,
15x - 8x = Rs 6000
7x = 6000
x = $$\frac{6000}{7}$$​​
Total amount = 5x + 8x + 15x = 28x
Total amount =$$\frac{6000}{7}$$​× 28
Total amount = Rs 24,000
∴ The total amount is Rs 24,000.
