  1. A sum of ₹ 730 was divided among A, B and C in such a way that if A gets ₹ 3, then B gets ₹ 4 and if B
    gets ₹ 3.50 then C gets ₹ 3. The share of B exceeds that of C by
    1. ₹ 30
    2. ₹ 40
    3. ₹ 70
    4. ₹ 210
Correct Option: B

A : B = 3 : 4
B : C = 3.5 : 3 = 7 : 6
∴  A : B : C = (3 × 7) : (4 × 7) : (4 × 6)
= 21 : 28 : 24
Sum of ratios = 21+28 + 24 = 73
∴  Difference between the shares of B and C

=
28 − 24
× 730
73

= 4 × 10 = Rs. 40
