The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the total sum of money divided among A, B, and C based on the given ratios and C's share. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Share Ratio**: - According to the problem, for every 1 rupee that A receives, B receives 65 paise and C receives 35 paise. - We can express this in terms of a ratio. If A gets 100 paise (which is equal to Rs. 1), then: - B gets 65 paise - C gets 35 paise - Therefore, the ratio of their shares can be expressed as: - A : B : C = 100 : 65 : 35 2. **Simplifying the Ratio**: - To simplify the ratio, we can divide each part by 5: - A : B : C = 20 : 13 : 7 3. **Identifying C's Share**: - We are given that C's share is Rs. 28. In terms of the simplified ratio, C represents 7 parts. - Therefore, we can set up the equation: - 7 parts = Rs. 28 4. **Finding the Value of One Part**: - To find the value of one part, we divide C's share by the number of parts: - Value of 1 part = Rs. 28 / 7 = Rs. 4 5. **Calculating the Total Sum**: - Now we can find the total sum by adding the parts of A, B, and C: - Total parts = A + B + C = 20 + 13 + 7 = 40 parts - Therefore, the total sum is: - Total sum = 40 parts × Rs. 4 per part = Rs. 160 ### Final Answer: The total sum of money is Rs. 160. ---
