Rs. 600 are divided among A, B, C so that Rs. 40 more than 2/5 th of A's share, Rs. 20 more than 2/7 th of B's share and Rs. 10 more than 9/17 th of C's may all be equal. What is A's share ?

• A's share = Rs 150
  
  If a,b,c are shares of A,B and C respectively , then
  
  40+2a/5 = 20+2b/7 = 10+ 9c/17 = k say
  a+b+c= 600
  
  solving these eqns , we get
  k=100
  so a= 150, b= 280, c= 170

• In this type of quetion we can think like 9/17*c should be whole number so we can direectly take c=170
  
  40+2a/5 = 20+2b/7 = 10+ 9c/17=100
  so a will be 150
