Rs. 395 are divided among A, B and C ins such a manner that B gets 25 % more than A and 20 % more than C. The share of A is:

A. Rs. 198
B. Rs. 120
C. Rs. 180
D. Rs. 195

Explanation:

Suppose A gets Rs. x.

Then B gets 125 % of x = 125/100 × x = Rs. 5x/4

If B gets Rs. 120.

Then c gets Rs. 100

If B gets Rs 5x/4, then c gets = Rs (100/120 ×5x/4)

= Rs 25x/24 x + 5x/4 + 25x/24 = 395

=> (24x + 30x + 25x) = (395 × 24)

=>79x = (395 × 24)

= > x = ((395 ×24)/79) = 120

Hence, A gets Rs. 120
