Question
Divide Rs. 5600 between A, B and C in the ratio 1 : 3 : 4.
✓
Answer
Total amount = Rs. 5600
Ratio in A : B : C = 1 : 3 : 4
$\therefore$ A's share $=\text{Rs. }\frac{5600\times1}{1+3+4}$
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{5600\times1}{8}=\text{Rs. }700$
B's share $=\text{Rs. }\frac{5600\times3}{8}=\text{Rs. }2100$
And C's share $=\text{Rs. }\frac{5600\times4}{8}=\text{Rs. }2800$
