TK 7,500 is divided in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5. Find the difference between the greatest and smallest shares?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Let the ratio be: x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x
Now,
x+2x+3x+4x+5x = 7500
Or, 15x = 7500
Or, x = 500
Greatest share, 5x = 5×500 = 2500
Smallest share, x = 500
∴ Difference between them = (2500 - 500) = 2000
