Rs. 7444 is divided among 5 ladies, 3 gents and 3 girls. The ratio of share of a lady, a gents and a girl is 7: 4: 3. What is the share of gents ?

Rs. 1595.14
Rs. 1793.4
Rs. 595.14
Rs. 1551.5

Correct Answer: Rs. 1595.14

Explanation:

Ratio of the share of a lady, a gents and a girl is 7 : 4 : 3
No of ladies, gents and girls are 5, 3, 3
Thus effective ratio of ladies, gents and girls is 7 x 5 : 4 x 3 : 3 x 3 = 35 : 12 : 9
so part of gents = (12/56) x 7444 = Rs. 1595.142
so part of 1 gents = 1595.142/3 = Rs. 531.71.
