    An amount of money is divided among L, M and N in the

    ratio of 2:3:6, respectively. If the amount received by N is Rs.6000 more than the amount received by M, then what is the total amount received by L and M together?
    A 16000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio = 2 : 3 : 6 = 2x : 3x : 6x => N = 6000 + M => N – M = 6000 => 6x – 3x = 6000 => x = 2000 Total amount received by L and M = 2x + 3x = 5x = 5×2000 = Rs. 10000
