The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, let's denote the incomes of A, B, and C as \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) respectively. ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the given information From the problem, we know: - \( 10\% \) of A's income = \( 15\% \) of B's income = \( 30\% \) of C's income. Let \( k \) be the common value of these percentages. Therefore, we can write: \[ 0.1A = k \quad (1) \] \[ 0.15B = k \quad (2) \] \[ 0.3C = k \quad (3) \] ### Step 2: Express A, B, and C in terms of k From equation (1): \[ A = \frac{k}{0.1} = 10k \] From equation (2): \[ B = \frac{k}{0.15} = \frac{20k}{3} \] From equation (3): \[ C = \frac{k}{0.3} = \frac{10k}{3} \] ### Step 3: Write the equation for the sum of incomes According to the problem, the sum of the incomes of A, B, and C is Rs. 7800: \[ A + B + C = 7800 \] Substituting the expressions for A, B, and C: \[ 10k + \frac{20k}{3} + \frac{10k}{3} = 7800 \] ### Step 4: Combine the terms To combine the terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for the fractions is 3: \[ 10k + \frac{20k}{3} + \frac{10k}{3} = 10k + \frac{30k}{3} = 10k + 10k = 20k \] So, we have: \[ 20k = 7800 \] ### Step 5: Solve for k Now, divide both sides by 20: \[ k = \frac{7800}{20} = 390 \] ### Step 6: Find the income of B Now that we have \( k \), we can find B's income using the expression we derived earlier: \[ B = \frac{20k}{3} = \frac{20 \times 390}{3} = \frac{7800}{3} = 2600 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the income of B is Rs. 2600. ---
