Question

An amount of Rs. 7,800 is divided among A, B and C in the ratio 2 : 3 : 8. How much does C receive?

• A. Rs. 1,200
• B. Rs. 1,800
• C. Rs. 4,800
• D. Rs. 3,600

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Total ratio units \(= 2+3+8 = 13\); each unit \(= \dfrac{7800}{13} = 600\).
Step 2: C's share \(= 8 \times 600 = \text{Rs. } 4800\).

Quick Tip: Sum the ratio parts first; one 'unit' equals total divided by that sum.
