The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing Rs. 1220 among A, B, C, and D based on the given ratios, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Variables Let A's share be \( 18k \), B's share be \( 10k \), C's share be \( 7k \), and D's share be \( \frac{17k}{3} \). ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations From the problem, we know: - B's share is \( \frac{5}{9} \) of A's share: \[ B = \frac{5}{9} A \implies 10k = \frac{5}{9} (18k) \] - C's share is \( \frac{7}{10} \) of B's share: \[ C = \frac{7}{10} B \implies C = \frac{7}{10} (10k) = 7k \] - D has \( \frac{1}{3} \) as much as B and C together: \[ D = \frac{1}{3} (B + C) = \frac{1}{3} (10k + 7k) = \frac{17k}{3} \] ### Step 3: Total Shares Now we can write the total shares of A, B, C, and D: \[ A + B + C + D = 1220 \] Substituting the values we defined: \[ 18k + 10k + 7k + \frac{17k}{3} = 1220 \] ### Step 4: Combine the Terms To combine these terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for the fractions is 3: \[ \frac{54k}{3} + \frac{30k}{3} + \frac{21k}{3} + \frac{17k}{3} = 1220 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{54k + 30k + 21k + 17k}{3} = 1220 \] \[ \frac{122k}{3} = 1220 \] ### Step 5: Solve for k Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 122k = 3660 \] Now, divide by 122: \[ k = \frac{3660}{122} = 30 \] ### Step 6: Find A's Share Now that we have \( k \), we can find A's share: \[ A = 18k = 18 \times 30 = 540 \] ### Final Answer A's share is Rs. 540. ---
