The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the given information. We know that: - \( 10\% \) of A's income = \( 15\% \) of B's income = \( 20\% \) of C's income. Let A's income be \( A \), B's income be \( B \), and C's income be \( C \). We can express the relationships as: \[ 0.1A = 0.15B = 0.2C \] ### Step 2: Express A, B, and C in terms of a common variable. Let \( k \) be the common value of \( 0.1A \), \( 0.15B \), and \( 0.2C \). Then we can write: \[ A = \frac{k}{0.1} = 10k \] \[ B = \frac{k}{0.15} = \frac{20k}{3} \] \[ C = \frac{k}{0.2} = 5k \] ### Step 3: Write the equation for the total income. According to the problem, the sum of their incomes is \( 7800 \): \[ A + B + C = 7800 \] Substituting the expressions for A, B, and C: \[ 10k + \frac{20k}{3} + 5k = 7800 \] ### Step 4: Combine the terms. To combine the terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for \( 1 \) and \( 3 \) is \( 3 \): \[ 10k = \frac{30k}{3} \] \[ 5k = \frac{15k}{3} \] Now substituting back: \[ \frac{30k}{3} + \frac{20k}{3} + \frac{15k}{3} = 7800 \] Combining the fractions: \[ \frac{30k + 20k + 15k}{3} = 7800 \] \[ \frac{65k}{3} = 7800 \] ### Step 5: Solve for k. To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides by \( 3 \): \[ 65k = 23400 \] Now divide by \( 65 \): \[ k = \frac{23400}{65} = 360 \] ### Step 6: Calculate B's income. Now that we have \( k \), we can find B's income: \[ B = \frac{20k}{3} = \frac{20 \times 360}{3} = 2400 \] ### Final Answer: B's income is \( Rs. 2400 \). ---
