The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to distribute Rs. 2430 among three persons A, B, and C such that their shares are diminished by Rs. 5, Rs. 10, and Rs. 15 respectively, and the remaining amounts are in the ratio 3:4:5. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Shares**: Let the shares of A, B, and C be represented as: - A's share = \( a \) - B's share = \( b \) - C's share = \( c \) 2. **Set Up the Diminished Shares**: According to the problem, after diminishing their shares: - A's remaining share = \( a - 5 \) - B's remaining share = \( b - 10 \) - C's remaining share = \( c - 15 \) 3. **Establish the Ratio**: The remaining shares are in the ratio 3:4:5. Therefore, we can write: \[ a - 5 : b - 10 : c - 15 = 3 : 4 : 5 \] We can express this in terms of a variable \( x \): \[ a - 5 = 3x, \quad b - 10 = 4x, \quad c - 15 = 5x \] 4. **Express Shares in Terms of x**: Rearranging the equations gives us: - \( a = 3x + 5 \) - \( b = 4x + 10 \) - \( c = 5x + 15 \) 5. **Total Shares**: The total amount distributed is given as Rs. 2430. Therefore, we can write: \[ a + b + c = 2430 \] Substituting the expressions for \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): \[ (3x + 5) + (4x + 10) + (5x + 15) = 2430 \] 6. **Combine Like Terms**: Simplifying the left side: \[ 3x + 4x + 5x + 5 + 10 + 15 = 2430 \] \[ 12x + 30 = 2430 \] 7. **Solve for x**: Subtract 30 from both sides: \[ 12x = 2430 - 30 \] \[ 12x = 2400 \] Now, divide by 12: \[ x = \frac{2400}{12} = 200 \] 8. **Calculate Individual Shares**: Now substitute \( x \) back to find \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): - \( a = 3(200) + 5 = 600 + 5 = 605 \) - \( b = 4(200) + 10 = 800 + 10 = 810 \) - \( c = 5(200) + 15 = 1000 + 15 = 1015 \) 9. **Final Answer**: The share of C is Rs. 1015.
