A total amount of Rs. 1560 is to be divided among A, B and C such that A gets 50% of what B gets and B gets 20% of what C gets. How much will B get? Correct Answer Rs. 240

Let C = 100x

A gets 50% of what B gets and B gets 20% of what C gets,

⇒ B = 20x and A = 10x

Total amount = Rs. 1560

⇒ 130x = 1560

⇒ x = 12

∴ B gets = Rs. 240
