Divide Rs. 3450 among A, B and C in the ratio 3 : 5 : 7.
✓
Answer
Let the value of A be 3x, the value of B be 5x and the value of C be 7x.
According to the question,
3x + 5x + 7x = 3450
$\Rightarrow15\text{x}=3450$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{3450}{15}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=230$
Hence, the value of A is 3 × 230 = Rs. 690, the value of B is 5 × 230 = Rs. 1150, and the value of C is 7 × 230 = Rs. 1610.
