Rs. 395 are divided among A, B and C in such a manner that B gets 25 % more than A and 20 % more than C. The share of A will be

A) Rs. 195

B) Rs. 180

C) Rs. 98

D) Rs. 120

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

Let A get Rs. x.

\[\therefore \]B gets =\[\frac{125x}{100}\] = Rs. \[\frac{5x}{4}\]

and C gets =\[\frac{100}{120}\times \frac{5x}{4}\]= Rs. \[\frac{25}{24}x\]

\[\therefore \] \[x+\frac{5x}{4}+\frac{25x}{24}=395\]

\[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{24x+30x+25x}{24}=395\]

\[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{79x}{24}=395\]

\[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{395\times 24}{79}\]= Rs. 120
