Question

Rs. 169000 is divided among A, B and C such that A 's share is 6/7 of total share of B and C together and B's share is 4/9 of total share of A and C together. What is the share of C?

A.

31000

B.

Rs. 11000

C.

Rs. 39000

D.

Rs. 21000

Correct option is C

Solution:

As per question,

=> (6/7) × (B + C) = A

=> (B + C)/A = 7/6

Using componendo and dividendo method

=> (A + B + C)/A = 13/6 ---- (eq 1)

=> (4/9) × (A + C) = B

=> (A + C)/B = 9/4

=> (A + B + C)/B = 13/4 ---- (eq 2)

From (eq 1) and (eq 2) we get

=> A = 6, B = 4 and C = 13 - (6 + 4) = 3

=> A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3

So, C's share = (169000/13) × 3 = 39000

∴ The correct answer is 39000.
