- QUESTION
Mr. Seth inherits 2505 gold coins and divides them among his three sons: Brij, Purab and Mohan in a certain ratio. Out of the total coins received by each of them, Brij sells 30 coins, Purab donates his 30 coins and Mohan looses 25 coins. Now, the ratio of gold coins with them is 46: 41: 34 respectively. How many coins did Purab receive from his father?
A)705
B)950
C)800
D)850
Explanation
(D)
= According to the question.
(46k + 30) + (41k + 30) + (34k + 25) = 2505
121k = 2505 – 85 = 2420
k = 2420/121 = 20
Number of coins received by Parat = 41k + 30
= 41 * 20 + 30 = 850
