Question

A sum of Rs. 1000 is divided among A, B, and C in the ratio 2:3:5. How much does C get? 
 

• A. Rs. 400
• B. Rs. 450
• C. Rs. 500
• D. Rs. 550

Hint:

For ratio division, sum the ratio parts and multiply the total amount by the fraction of the desired part.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Step 1: Ratio of A:B:C = 2:3:5. Total parts = $2 + 3 + 5 = 10$.
- Step 2: C's share = $\dfrac{5}{10} \times 1000 = 500$.
- Step 3: Verify: A's share = $\dfrac{2}{10} \times 1000 = 200$, B's share = $\dfrac{3}{10} \times 1000 = 300$. Total = $200 + 300 + 500 = 1000$.
- Step 4: Check options: Option (c) is Rs. 500, which matches.
- Step 5: Ensure ratio sums correctly and no miscalculation in division.
- Step 6: Option (c) is correct.
