Question

Rs. 7,786 is divided among A, B and C in such a manner that the ratio of the amount of A to that of B is 3 : 4 and the ratio of the amount of B to that of C is 12 : 13. The amount of money received by B is:

A.

Rs. 7,138

B.

Rs. 2,977

C.

Rs. 2,748

D.

Rs. 5,038

Correct option is C

Given:
Total amount = Rs. 7,786
Ratio of A to B = 3 : 4
Ratio of B to C = 12 : 13
Concept Used:
When we have two ratios involving a common term (here, B), we can combine them to find the overall ratio of A : B : C.
Solution:
A : B = 3 : 4 and B : C = 12 : 13
multiplying by 3 in A : B ;
A : B = 9 : 12
Now, A : B : C = 9 : 12 : 13 .
Total parts = 9 + 12 + 13 = 34
So,
B's share = 1234×7786\frac{12}{34} \times 7786​ = 2748
Thus, The amount of money received by B is Rs. 2,748.
