Rs. 1087 was divided among A, B and C. Such that if Rs. 10, Rs. 13 and Rs. 14 be diminished from their shares respectively, the remainders will be in the ratio of 3 : 5 : 7. What is the share of A?
Total money divided among three = Rs. 1087
Total amount of money diminished = (10 + 13 + 14) = Rs. 37
Remaining money = 1087 – 37 = Rs. 1050.
Given that, remaining amount is in the ratio of 3 : 5 : 7.
So, share of A = (3/15)*1050 + 10
= 210 + 10 = Rs. 220
Therefore, share of A = Rs. 220.
