A profit of Rs. 84 is divided between A and B in the ratio of 1/3: ¼. What will be the shares of both A and B?
A)
A = Rs. 30, B = Rs. 54
B)
A = Rs. 36, B = Rs. 48
C)
A = Rs. 54, B = Rs. 30
D)
None of these

• A=Rs 48 , B=Rs 36
  so ans should be - D

• A:B = 1/3: 1/4 = 4 :3
  SHARE OF A = (4 / 7) * 84 = 48
  SHARE OF B = (3 / 7) * 84 = 36
  HENCE (D) IS THE ANS.

• Ans will be :-D) none of these.
  Share of A:- 84*{(1/3)/(7/12)}=48
  Share of b=84-48=36.

• a=48,b =36

• 1/3 : 1/4 is equal to 4 : 3
  A = (84 x 4/7 ) = 48
  B = (84 x 3 /7 ) = 36
  
  So,option is D

• D. It is solved as 1/3:1/4 multiplied by a LCM of denominators i.e. 12.
  It becomes 12/3:12/4 = 4:3.
  So 4x+3x=84 => 7x=84, x = 12.
  4x=48,3x=36
  48:36

• (x/3)+(x/4)=84
  x=144
  A=x/3=48
  B=x/4=36

• option B is answer.
  84/7=12.
  12*3=36 (for A)
  12*4=48 (for B).

• 84=1/3x+1/4x
  84=7x/12
  x=144
  1/3*144=48
  1/4*144=36

• a:B :: (1/3):(1/4)
  a/b= 4/3
  profit A= (84*3)/7 = 36
  profit B=(84*4)/7 =48
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• A:B = 1/3: 1/4 = 4 :3
  SHARE OF A = (4 / 7) * 84 = 48
  SHARE OF B = (3 / 7) * 84 = 36
  HENCE (D) IS THE ANS.

• Solution:
  
  Group the no. As follows:
  
  X= {1, 2+1, 2+2+1, 2+2+2+1, 2+2+2+2+1,…}
  
  Now it gives you A.P. as follows:
  
  Y= {1, 3, 5, 7, 9,…}
  
  Number of terms contained in each Y is:
  
  Z= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5…}
  
  Given the sum to be found ulti 1230 terms but 1230 doesn't give you the exact number if you solve it by sum of n natural no.s formulae. So break 1230 into 1225+5.
  
  Now find the value of n given the sum is 1225.
  
  n(n+1)/2 = 1225
  
  This gives n=49
  
  Now use the sum of A.P. formulae in Y:
  
  Sum= n[2a+(n-1)d]/2
  
  Where n=49, a=1, d=2 we get:
  
  Sum = 2401
  
  Now this is the result for 1225 no.s
  
  To get the result of 1230 no.s we need to add the next 5 numbers in the sequence (which starts with 2). So the next 5 terms are 2,2,2,2,2.
  
  Therefore =2*5 = 10
  
  Final result is 2401+10 = 2411
