₹4,200 is divided among A, B and C such that A gets half of what B and C together get, and B gets one-third of what A and C together get. What is C's share?
- ₹1,750
- ₹1,400
- ₹1,050
- ₹1,600
Answer and explanation
Answer: A. ₹1,750
Explanation: A = 1/2 (B + C) means A is 1/3 of the total = ₹1,400. B = 1/3 (A + C) means B is 1/4 of the total = ₹1,050. C = 4,200 − 1,400 − 1,050 = ₹1,750.
