A sum of Tk. 1360 has been divided among A, B and C such that A gets 2/3 of what B gets and B gets 1/4 of what C gets. B's share is:

A    Tk. 120

B    Tk. 160

C    Tk. 240

D    Tk. 300

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

 

Let C's share = Tk. x

Then, B's share = Tk. x/4, 

A's share = Tk. (2/x)(x/4) = Tk. x/6

So, x/6 + x/4 + x = 1360

=> 17x/12 = 1360

=> x = (1360 x 12)/17 = Tk. 960

Hence, B's share = Tk. 960/4 = Tk. 240.
