Option 1: Rs. 3200

Option 2: Rs. 4800

Option 3: Rs. 5600

Option 4: Rs. 4000

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 4000


Solution : Let $2X = 3Y = 4Z = k$
$X =\frac{k}{2}, Y = \frac{k}{3}, Z = \frac{k}{4}$
The sum of shares of all of them together = 13000
⇒ $\frac{k}{2} + \frac{k}{3} + \frac{k}{4} = 13000$
⇒ $\frac{6k+4k+3k}{12}=13000$
⇒ $\frac{13k}{12}=13000$
⇒ $k = 12000$
$\therefore$
