Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- 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

- 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 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
