The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing Rs. 2495 among A, B, and C, given the conditions of the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Shares Let the shares of A, B, and C be represented as: - A = share of A - B = share of B - C = share of C According to the problem, we have: \[ A + B + C = 2495 \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Ratios The problem states that if we decrease Rs. 15 from A's share, Rs. 30 from B's share, and Rs. 50 from C's share, the new ratio becomes 3:2:7. We can express this mathematically as: - A - 15 = 3k - B - 30 = 2k - C - 50 = 7k where k is a common factor. ### Step 3: Express A, B, and C in Terms of k From the equations above, we can express A, B, and C in terms of k: 1. \( A = 3k + 15 \) 2. \( B = 2k + 30 \) 3. \( C = 7k + 50 \) ### Step 4: Substitute into the Total Sum Equation Now we substitute the expressions for A, B, and C back into the total sum equation: \[ (3k + 15) + (2k + 30) + (7k + 50) = 2495 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Equation Combining like terms, we get: \[ 3k + 2k + 7k + 15 + 30 + 50 = 2495 \] \[ 12k + 95 = 2495 \] ### Step 6: Solve for k Now, we isolate k: \[ 12k = 2495 - 95 \] \[ 12k = 2400 \] \[ k = \frac{2400}{12} = 200 \] ### Step 7: Find A, B, and C Now that we have the value of k, we can find A, B, and C: 1. For A: \[ A = 3k + 15 = 3(200) + 15 = 600 + 15 = 615 \] 2. For B: \[ B = 2k + 30 = 2(200) + 30 = 400 + 30 = 430 \] 3. For C: \[ C = 7k + 50 = 7(200) + 50 = 1400 + 50 = 1450 \] ### Final Shares Thus, the shares of A, B, and C are: - A = Rs. 615 - B = Rs. 430 - C = Rs. 1450
