The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing Rs 1250 among A, B, and C based on the given conditions, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationships**: - A gets \( \frac{2}{9} \) of B's share. - C gets \( \frac{3}{4} \) of A's share. 2. **Express A's Share in Terms of B's Share**: - Let B's share be \( b \). - Then A's share can be expressed as: \[ a = \frac{2}{9}b \] 3. **Express C's Share in Terms of A's Share**: - From the relationship given, C's share can be expressed as: \[ c = \frac{3}{4}a \] - Substitute \( a \) from the previous step: \[ c = \frac{3}{4} \left( \frac{2}{9}b \right) = \frac{3 \times 2}{4 \times 9}b = \frac{6}{36}b = \frac{1}{6}b \] 4. **Set Up the Total Share Equation**: - Now we have expressions for A, B, and C in terms of B's share: \[ a = \frac{2}{9}b, \quad b = b, \quad c = \frac{1}{6}b \] - The total amount shared among A, B, and C is Rs 1250: \[ a + b + c = 1250 \] - Substitute the expressions: \[ \frac{2}{9}b + b + \frac{1}{6}b = 1250 \] 5. **Find a Common Denominator**: - The common denominator for 9 and 6 is 18. Convert each term: \[ \frac{4}{18}b + \frac{18}{18}b + \frac{3}{18}b = 1250 \] - Combine the fractions: \[ \frac{4 + 18 + 3}{18}b = 1250 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{25}{18}b = 1250 \] 6. **Solve for B's Share**: - Multiply both sides by \( \frac{18}{25} \): \[ b = 1250 \times \frac{18}{25} = 1250 \times 0.72 = 900 \] 7. **Calculate A's and C's Shares**: - Substitute \( b \) back to find \( a \) and \( c \): \[ a = \frac{2}{9} \times 900 = 200 \] \[ c = \frac{1}{6} \times 900 = 150 \] 8. **Final Shares**: - A's share = Rs 200 - B's share = Rs 900 - C's share = Rs 150 ### Summary of Shares: - A = Rs 200 - B = Rs 900 - C = Rs 150
