Certain amount of money was divided among four people such that the r...
The ratio between the amount obtained by B and C is 13:14 respectively.
Let’s assume the amount obtained by B and C is 13y and 14y respectively.
the average of the amount obtained by C and D is Rs. 4900.
14y+amount obtained by D = 9800
amount obtained by D = (9800-14y)
the amount obtained by A is 25% less than the amount obtained by B
the amount obtained by A = 75% of 13y
= 9.75y
The difference between the amount obtained by A and D is Rs. 300.
9.75y-(9800-14y) = 300
9.75y-9800+14y = 300
23.75y = 9800+300 = 10100
y = 425.263158 Eq.(i)
Or (9800-14y)-9.75y = 300
9800-14y-9.75y = 300
9800-300 = 23.75y
23.75y = 9500
y = 400 Eq.(ii)
= (5.6875y+2450) Eq.(iii)
Put the value of ‘y’ from Eq.(i) to the above given equation.
= (5.6875\times425.263158+2450)
After solving this, we will get a fractional value which is not available in any of the options. So the value of ‘y’ which is given in Eq.(i) is not possible.
Put the value of ‘y’ from Eq.(ii) to the equation Eq.(iii).
=(5.6875×400+2450)
= 2275+2450
= 4725
Hence, option c is the correct answer.
