RS 600 is divided among 3 persons(A,B,C).
So that RS 40 is more than that of 4/5 of A's share and RS 20 is more than that of 2/7 of B's share and RS 10 is more than that of 9/7 of C's share may be equal. Find shares of A's
a.150 b.170 c.200 d.280

• A+B+C=600
  40+(2/5)A=20+(2/7)B=10+(9/17)C. (Given in the question).
  On solving both equation we will get A=150 and final answer is 150.

• sorry a's share is 2/5 and c's share is 9/17 and all shares may be equal
  a-150 b-280 c-170
  40+2/5 of 150 is 100
  20+2/7 of 280 is 100
  10+9/17 of 170 is 100

• 1st equation-
  A+B+C = 600
  2nd equation-
  2/5A+40 = 2/7B+20 = 9/17C+10
  Solving the above relation; we get-
  34A-45C = -2550 => C= (34A+2550)/45
  14A-10B = -700 => B= (14A+700)/10
  34B-63C = -1190
  Put the values of B and C in 1st equation; we get-
  A= 150
