Q.₹4000 was distributed among A, B, and C. If A receives ₹4, B receives ₹5, and C receives ₹7, then A would receive ₹8. So, how much money will A actually receive? (a) ₹ 1120 (b) ₹ 1600 (c) ₹ 1280 (d) None of the above

Answer: C

A : B = 4 : 5 = 8 : 10 C : A = 7 : 8, or A : C = 8 : 7 So, A : B : C = 8 : 10 : 7 Or, A : B : C = \(\frac{8}{25} : \frac{10}{25} : \frac{7}{25}\) \(\therefore\) A will receive = ₹4000 × \(\frac{8}{25}\) = ₹1280
