    A receives 2 times the amount received by B, and B receives 3 times the amount received by C. Find the share of B.
    A ₹1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹1400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the share of C be x. Then, the share of B is 3x, and the share of A is 2 × 3x = 6x. The total sum is ₹5000: x + 3x + 6x = 5000 10x = 5000 x = 500 Thus, the share of B = 3x = 3 × 500 = ₹1500.
