A sum of Rs. 4,300 is distributed among M, N and O, such that M receives 25% more than N and N receives 25% less than O. What is O’s share in the amount?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let O's share = Rs. P
=> N's share = \(\frac{75}{100}\;\times\;\mathrm P\;=\;\frac{3\mathrm P}4\)
M's share = \(\frac54\;\times\;\frac{3\mathrm P}4\;=\;\frac{15\mathrm P}{16}\)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{15\mathrm P}{16}\;+\;\frac{3\mathrm P}4\;+\;\mathrm P\;=\;4300\\=>\;\mathrm P\;=\;4300\;\times\;\frac{16}{43}\;=\;1600\end{array}\)
