A sum of Rs 817 is divided among A, Band C such that 'A' receives 25% more than 'B' and 'B' receives 25% less than 'C'. What is A's share in the amount?

• ANS: A's share would be Rs.285
  Let C,share is x,
  B's share is 0.75x
  and A would get0.9375x
  A,s share would be (0.9375/2.6875)*817= Rs. 285

• Let C's share be x
  then B's share would be x-25%of x , i.e 3x/4
  and A's share would be (3x/4) + 25% of (3x/4) , i.e 15x/16
  
  now,
  x+3x/4+15x/16=817
  so x= 19*16,
  
  hence C's share would be 19*16
  B's share would be 19*12
  and A's share would be 19*15=285
  
  Hence 285
