Question

A sum of ₹ 158 is to be divided between A, B and C, so that A gets ₹ 8 more than B and C gets ₹ 10 more than A. Then, A gets 1. ₹ 44 2. ₹ 48 3. ₹ 52 4. ₹ 60

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let B gets ₹ x. Then A gets ₹ (x + 8) C gets ₹ (x + 8 + 10) = ₹ (x + 18). Total amount = ₹ 158 x + (x + 8) + (x + 18) = 158 ⇒ x + x + 8 + x + 18 = 158 [Removing brackets] ⇒ 3x + 26 = 158 ⇒ 3x = 158 - 26 [Transposing +26 to RHS] ⇒ 3x = 132 ⇒ x = ⇒ x = 44 A gets ₹ (x + 8) = ₹ (44 + 8) = ₹ 52. Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
