Question : If Rs.126.50 is divided among A, B and C in the ratio of 2 : 5 : 4 the share of B exceeds that of A by:
Option 1: Rs. 36.50
Option 2: Rs. 35.50
Option 3: Rs. 34.50
Option 4: Rs. 33.50
Correct Answer: Rs. 34.50
Solution :
Given: Rs. 126.50 is divided among A, B and C in the ratio of 2 : 5 : 4.
So, they will get shares according to the ratio.
A's share = ($\frac{2}{2+5+4})$ × 126.50 = $\frac{2}{11}$ × 126.50 = Rs. 23
B's share = ($\frac{5}{2+5+4})$ × 126.50 = $\frac{5}{11}$ × 126.50 = Rs. 57.50
Therefore, B's share exceeds A's by (57.50 – 23) = Rs. 34.50
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 34.50.
