    Question

    If Rs.70,000 is distributed among A, B, and C such that A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 4:5, then find the share of A.

    A.

    Rs. 18,500

    B.

    Rs. 14,500

    C.

    Rs. 15,800

    D.

    Rs. 16,000

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 4:5, and total amount = Rs. 70,000.
    Solution:
    The ratios can be combined by making the common terms (B) equal, i.e., the ratio of A:B:C becomes 8:12:15.
    The combined ratio of A:B:C is 8:12:15, making the sum of ratios = 8 + 12 + 15 = 35.
    Therefore, A's share = (8 / 35) * 70,000 = Rs. 16000
