A sum of Rs. 53 is divided among A, B and C such that A gets Rs. 7 more than B, and B gets Rs. 8 more than C. What is the ratio of their shares?
A27:20:12
B27:17:09
C25:18:10 ✓ Correct
D23:19:11
Correct answer: (C) 25:18:10
Explanation
The ratio is 25:18:10.
let C's share = C, then B = C + 8, A = C + 15.
sum = 3C + 23 = 53.
3C = 30, so C = 10.
B = 18, A = 25.
ratio A:B:C = 25:18:10.
