A total sum of ₹153 is distributed among three friends A, B and C in such a way that C gets 5 times as much money than A gets and B gets 3 times as much money than A gets. How many rupees does B get? Correct Answer 51
Given that A + B + C = 153 ….(i)
C = 5A ….(ii)
B = 3A ….(iii)
Now, from (i), (ii), and (iii),
A + 3A + 5A = 153
9A = 153
A = 153 ÷ 9
A = 17
B = 3A
B = 3 × 17 = 51
Hence, B gets 51 rupees.
