Correct Answer: 9 : 14 : 10
Solution : Given: A, B, and C received an amount of Rs. 8400. The sum A will receive $= 6 ×\frac{8400}{6+8+7} = 6 × \frac{8400}{21} = 2400$ Amount B will receive $= 8 × \frac{8400}{6+8+7} = 8 × \frac{8400}{21}= 3200$ The amount C will receive $= 7 × \frac{8400}{6+8+7} = 7 × \frac{8400}{21} = 2800$ Assume that A, B, and C have saved $3y, 2y,$ and $4y$ respectively. Also, it is given that B saves money which is $2y = 400 ⇒ y = 200$ The amount saved by A, B, and C is 3 × 200 = Rs. 600, 2 × 200 = Rs. 400, and 4 × 200 = Rs. 800 respectively. Their expenditure can be expressed as follows, Expenditure of A = 2400 – 600 = Rs. 1800 Expenditure of B = 3200 – 400 = Rs. 2800 Expenditure of C = 2800 – 800 = Rs. 2000 The ratio of their expenditure = 1800 : 2800 : 2000 = 9 : 14 : 10 So, the ratio of expenditure of A : B : C = 9 : 14 : 10 Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 14 : 10.
