The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the shares of A, B, C, and D based on the given ratios and then determine the difference between the shares of B and D. ### Step 1: Set up the ratios Given the ratios: - A : B = 1 : 3 - B : C = 2 : 5 - C : D = 2 : 3 We can express the shares of A, B, C, and D in terms of a common variable. Let: - A = x - B = 3x (from A:B = 1:3) Now, since B = 3x, we can find C using the ratio B:C = 2:5. - B = 2y and C = 5y From B = 3x, we have: \[ 2y = 3x \] \[ y = \frac{3x}{2} \] Thus, C can be expressed as: \[ C = 5y = 5 \left(\frac{3x}{2}\right) = \frac{15x}{2} \] Next, we can find D using the ratio C:D = 2:3. - C = 2z and D = 3z From C = \(\frac{15x}{2}\), we have: \[ 2z = \frac{15x}{2} \] \[ z = \frac{15x}{4} \] Thus, D can be expressed as: \[ D = 3z = 3 \left(\frac{15x}{4}\right) = \frac{45x}{4} \] ### Step 2: Express the total sum Now we can express the total sum of their shares: \[ A + B + C + D = x + 3x + \frac{15x}{2} + \frac{45x}{4} \] To combine these, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 1, 1, 2, and 4 is 4. So we convert each term: - A = \( \frac{4x}{4} \) - B = \( \frac{12x}{4} \) - C = \( \frac{30x}{4} \) - D = \( \frac{45x}{4} \) Now, adding these together: \[ A + B + C + D = \frac{4x + 12x + 30x + 45x}{4} = \frac{91x}{4} \] ### Step 3: Set the total equal to Rs 4095 Now we set the total equal to Rs 4095: \[ \frac{91x}{4} = 4095 \] To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4: \[ 91x = 4095 \times 4 \] \[ 91x = 16380 \] Now divide by 91: \[ x = \frac{16380}{91} = 180 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the shares of A, B, C, and D Now we can find the shares: - A = x = 180 - B = 3x = 3(180) = 540 - C = \(\frac{15x}{2} = \frac{15(180)}{2} = 1350\) - D = \(\frac{45x}{4} = \frac{45(180)}{4} = 2025\) ### Step 5: Find the difference between B and D Now we calculate the difference between the shares of B and D: \[ \text{Difference} = D - B = 2025 - 540 = 1485 \] Thus, the difference between the shares of B and D is Rs 1485. ### Final Answer The difference between the shares of B and D is Rs 1485. ---
