A, B, C and D divide a property worth Rs. 93,100 among themselves. Given A : B = 1 : 2, B : C = 3 : 4 and C : D = 5 : 6, find C's share.

1. Rs.34,000
2. Rs.28,000
3. Rs.25,000
4. Rs.31,000

Correct answer: Rs.28,000

Solution

Combining ratios: A:B:C = 3:6:8 and C:D = 5:6. Scale so C matches: multiply A:B:C by 5 and C:D by 8, giving A:B:C:D = 15:30:40:48. Sum = 133. Each part = 93100/133 = 700. C's share = 40 x 700 = Rs. 28,000.
