Question

Rs. 24000 has to be shared between A and B in the ratio 7 : 5. Then B will get

• A. Rs. 9000
• B. Rs. 10000
• C. Rs. 8000
• D. Rs. 7800

Hint:

In ratio problems, sum the parts, divide the total by this sum to find the value of one part, then multiply by the required number of parts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the ratio
A and B share the amount in the ratio 7:5, meaning for every 12 parts (7+5), A gets 7 parts and B gets 5 parts.
Step 2: Calculate B's share
Total amount = Rs. 24000.
Value of one part = \(\frac{24000}{7+5} = \frac{24000}{12} = 2000\).
B's share = \(5 \times 2000 = 10000\).
Step 3: Conclusion
B will get Rs. 10000.
