Question : 1 [SSC MTS 2013]

1740 is divided among A, B, and C such that 0.5 of A = 0.6 of B = 0.75 of C. Then C will get

a) 348

b) 464

c) 696

d) 580

Answer: (b)

A × 0.5 = B × 0.6 = C × 0.75

${A ×5}/10 = {B × 6}/10 = {C × 75}/100$

$A/2 = B/{5/3} = C/{4/3}$

A : B : C = $2 : 5/3 : 4/3$

= 6 : 5 : 4

C’s share

= $4/15 ×1740$ = Rs.464

Question : 2 [SSC MTS 2013]

c) 15 : 12 : 16

d) 14 : 12 : 13

Answer: (c)

= ${100 × 100}/75$ = Rs.$400/3$

Required ratio

= 125 : 100 : $400/3$

= 5 : 4 : $16/3$ = 15 : 12 : 16
