A sum of 50 rupees is divided among A, B and C in such a way that A gets 5 rupees less than B, and B gets 10 rupees less than C. What is the ratio of their money share?
A1 : 2 : 3
B2 : 3 : 4
C1 : 2 : 4
D2 : 3 : 5 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 2 : 3 : 5
Explanation
The ratio is 2 : 3 : 5.
A = B - 5 and B = C - 10, so A = C - 15.
Sum: (C - 15) + (C - 10) + C = 50.
3C - 25 = 50 gives C = 25, B = 15, A = 10.
10 : 15 : 25 = 2 : 3 : 5.
