A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, and D in the proportion $5:2:4:3$. If C gets Rs. 1000 more than D, what is B's share?

1. Rs. 500
2. Rs. 1500
3. Rs. 2000
4. None of these

Correct answer: Rs. 2000

Solution

The ratio parts are 5, 2, 4, and 3. Since C exceeds D by 1 part and that difference is Rs. 1000, 1 part = Rs. 1000. Therefore B, which has 2 parts, gets Rs. 2000.
