A sum of money when distributed among friends is in the ratio of 3:4:5, if the amount is the larger 3digit number divisible by 24, what is the share of 3rd person?

• 410
  Largest 3 digit number divisible by 24= 984
  So their shares are (984*3/12=246) , (984*4/12=328) , (984*5/12=410)

• Answer is 410
  Explanation :
  Take largest 3 digit number be 999 and divide it by 24, you will get remainer 15
  So, larget 3 digit number divisible by 24 is (999-15)= 984
  
  Now share of 3rd person is 984*5/12 = 410
  Hence answer

• given money is disributed in the ratio 3:4:5
  let x be the amount distributed among 3 people
  let, money distributed to each person be:
  1st person: 3x
  2nd person: 4x
  3rd person: 5x
  largest number of 3 digit is 999 but it is not divisible by 24
  so look for smaller no. less than 999 that should be divisible by 24
  that means by every factors of 24 it should be divisibe i.e,24=2*3*4
  Therefore 998 is the no which is divisible by 2,divisible by 3 and divisible by 4
  so,nw largest no. divisible by 24 of 3 digit is 996
  and total share is 3+4+5=12
  money distributed to 3rd person will be:5x/12
  therefore, 3rd persons share will be (996*5)/12=415(ans)
