A certain sum is divided among A, B and C in a manner that for every rupee that A gets, B gets 50 paise and for every rupee that B gets, C gets 25 paise. If C’s share in the total sum is Rs. 520, then find the share of A (in Rs.).
Explanation:
A : B = 1 : ½ = 2 : 1
B : C = 1 : ¼ = 4 : 1
∴ A : B : C = 8 : 4 : 1
Given C’s share = Rs. 520
A’s share = 8/1 × 520 = Rs.4160
Hence, 4160.
