A, B and C are three partners. A and B have money in the ratio 7 : 17 and B and C also have money in the same ratio 7 : 17. If A has Rs. 4900, then find the amount of money C has.
Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Given that, A and B have money in the ratio 7 : 17 and B and C also have money in the same ratio 7 : 17. A has Rs. 4900
Let A, B and C have Rs. x, Rs. y and Rs. z respectively then x = Rs.4900
\(\frac{x}{y}\; = \;\frac{7}{{17}}\;\)
\(\Rightarrow y\; = \;\frac{{17x}}{7}\;\)
\(\Rightarrow y\; = \;\frac{{17}}{7} \times \;4900\)
= Rs.11900
\(\frac{y}{z}\; = \;\frac{7}{{17}}\;\)
\(\Rightarrow z\; = \;\frac{{17}}{7}\; \times \;y\;\)
\(\; = \;\frac{{17}}{7} \times 11900\)
= Rs.28900
