Q1. A sum of Rs. 427 is to be divided among A, B and C In such a way that 3 times A's share, 4 times B's share and 7 times C's share are all equal. The share of C is:
Answer: Rs0.84
Explanation: Setting 3A = 4B = 7C = k gives A = k/3, B = k/4, C = k/7. Since A+B+C = 427 and k(1/3+1/4+1/7) = k×61/84 = 427, we get k = 588 and C = 84.
