  • Question
  • A person gave 2/5 part of his income to his elder son and 30 % part to his younger son. He saved his remaining money in three trusts. A, B and C in the ratio of 3 : 5 : 2. If difference between the amount got by his both sons is &8377; 2000, How much amount he saved in trust C?


  • Options
  • A. ? 1000
  • B. ? 1140
  • C. ? 1200
  • D. ? 1256

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 1200 

    Explanation

    Let the person have ? N
    Then shares of elder don = ? 2N/5
    and share of younger son = ? 3N/10

    According to the question,
    2N/5 - 3N/10 = 2000
    ? N/10 = 2000
    ? N = 20000

    Remaining amount saved in trusts
    = 1 - (2N/5 + 3N/10 ) = 1 - (4N + 3N)/10
    = 1 - 7N/10 = 3N/10 x 20000 = 6000

    given that A : B : C = 3 : 5: 2
    ? Share of C = [2/(3 + 5 +2)] x 6000
    = (2/10) x 6000 = ? 1200
