  1. A sum of ₹ 76 is divided among A, B and C in such a way that A gets ₹ 7 more than that what B gets and B gets ₹ 6 more than what C gets. The ratio of their shares is
    1. 19 : 24 : 33
    2. 32 : 25 : 19
    3. 32 : 24 : 20
    4. 19 : 25 : 33
Correct Option: B

B’s share = Rs. b
A’s share = Rs. (b + 7)
C’s Share = Rs.(b – 6)
∴  b + b + 7 + b – 6 = 76
⇒  3b = 76 – 1 = 75
⇒  b = Rs. 25
∴  A’s share = 25 + 7 = Rs. 32
C’s share = 25 – 6 = Rs. 19
∴  Required ratio = 32 : 25 : 19
