A total amount of Rs. 2368 is to divided among A, B and C such that A gets 60% of what B gets and B gets 30% of what C gets. How much will B get? Correct Answer Rs. 480

Suppose C will get Rs. 100x

⇒ B will get = 100x × 30/100 = Rs. 30x

⇒ A will get = 30x × 60/100 = Rs. 18x

According to question,

100x + 30x + 18x = 2368

⇒ 148x = 2368

⇒ x = 16

∴ B will get = Rs. (16 × 30) = Rs. 480
