    Question

    A sum of Rs. ' K ' was intended to be distributed among

    Bunty, Babli, and Munna in the ratio of 2:3:4. However, due to an error, the amount was mistakenly distributed in the ratio of 3:2:5. As a result, Babli received Rs. 3600 less than they should have. Determine the value of 2K.
    A 27000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 54000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 63000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 90000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total amount[K] be Rs. 90x So, amount which Babli was supposed to receive = 90x X (3/9) = Rs. 30x Amount which was actually received by Babli = 90x X (2/10) = Rs. 18x ATQ, 30x - 18x = 3600 Or, 12x = 3600 So, 'x' = 300 Also, K = 90x = 90 X 300 = 27000 Therefore, required value, 2K = 2 X 27000 = 54000
