Question:
A, B and C divide an amount of Rs. 5000 amongst themselves in the ratio of 5:3:2 respectively. If an amount of Rs.600 is added to each of their shares, what will be the new ratio of their shares of the amount?
A31 : 21 : 16
B15 : 16 : 12
C17 : 18 : 19
D29 : 21 : 15
Answer:
A. 31 : 21 : 16
Explanation:
A : B : C = 5 : 3 : 2
New Share of A= 2500+600= 3100
New Share of B= 1500+600=2100
New Share of C= 1000+600=1600
If the amount Rs.600 is added to each of their shares then the new share becomes,
3100 : 2100 : 1600 = 31 : 21 : 16
