  • Question
  • Pinku, Rinku and Tinku divide an amount of ? 4200 amongst themselves in the ratio of 7 : 8 : 6, respectively. If an amount of ? 200 is added to each of their shares, what will be the new respective ratio of their shares of amount?


  • Options
  • A. 8 : 9 : 5
  • B. 7 : 9 : 5
  • C. 7 : 8 : 6
  • D. 8 : 9 : 7

  • Correct Answer
  • 8 : 9 : 7 

    Explanation

    Let pinku's share = 7N
    Rinku's share = 8N
    Tinku's share = 6N

    According to the question,
    7N + 8N + 6N = 4200
    ? 21N = 4200
    ? N = 4200/21 = 200

    Hence. amount of Pinku = 7N = 7 x 200 = ? 1400
    Amount of Rinku = 8N = 8 x 200 = ? 1600
    Amount of Tinku = 6N = 6 x 200 = ? 1200

    Now. ? 200 is added to each share
    Then,
    New ratio of shares
    = (1400 + 200) : (1600 + 200) : (1200 + 200)
    = 1600 : 1800 : 1400
    = 16 : 18 : 14 = 8 : 9 : 7
