Three men A, B, C, agreed to share the expenses of a trip in the ratio 2:3:4. A paid $250 to porters, B paid $ 700 for the stuff and C paid $490 for travelling expenses. How much should A and C together pay to B to settle their agreed share? a) 200 b) 210 c) 220 d) 240 e) 300

• c)220 according to question 250+x : 700-x-y :490 +y = 2:3:4.....total expense= 250+700+490=1440..it should be divided among three as 320,480,640(in ratio of 2:3:4)...so A pay 70 and C pay 150 so they together pay 70+150=220 RS

• 2x+3x+4x=250+700+490=1440
  x=160
  A pay 320
  b pay 480
  c pay 640
  but b pay 700 so a and c together pay 220

• total expenses=250+700+490=1440
  a's share=2/(2+4+3)=320
  c's share=4/(2+4+3)=640
  a's remaining=320-250=70
  c'remaining=640-490=150
  total maoney give both a,c to b is 70+150=220

• A+B+C= 250+700+490 =1440
  1440/9=160
  A:2*160= 320 B:3*160=480 C:4*160=640
  -250 -490
  ---- ----
  70 150
  70+150=220
