    Rs.3960 are divided among A, B and C such that half of as part, one-third of B's part and one-sixth of C's part are equal. Then B's part is

    A)  1200                     

    B)         1000

    C)  1080                       

    D)         900

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Given   \[\frac{1}{2}A=\frac{1}{2}B=\frac{1}{6}C\] Let                          \[\frac{1}{2}A=\frac{1}{2}B=\frac{1}{6}C=k\] \[\therefore \]                  \[A=2k,\,\,B=3k,\,\,C=6k\] \[i.e.\,\,A,\,\,B\] and \[C\] have amounts in the ratio                 \[A:B:C=2:3:6\] Now,     \[2+3+6=11\] Hence,   \[A's\]part\[=\frac{2}{11}\]of the total amount.                 \[B's\]part\[=\frac{3}{11}\]of the total amount.                 \[C's\]part\[=\frac{6}{11}\]of the total amount. We want to find the \[B's\] part. Also, the total amount is\[Rs.3960\]. \[\therefore \]  \[B's\]part\[=\frac{3}{11}\times 3960=1080\]
