    D)  393, 290, 360

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have, \[4\times \] first part \[=5\times \]second part \[=7\times \]third part = x (say) According to question, \[\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{5}+\frac{x}{7}=1162\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{35x+28x+20x}{140}=1162\] \[\Rightarrow 83x=1162\times 140\Rightarrow x=\frac{1162\times 140}{83}=1960\] \[\therefore \text{ First part=}\frac{1960}{4}=490\] Second part\[=\frac{1960}{5}=392\] Third part\[=\frac{1960}{7}=280\]
