A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of
5 : 2 : 4 : 3. If C gets Rs. 500 more than D, what is A's share?  Choose the correct answer.
A) Rs. 2500  B) Rs. 1000  C) Rs. 1500  D) Rs. 2000  E) NOne
Sol.   Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively.   Then, 4x - 3x = 500 ⇔ x = 500.   ∴ A's share = Rs. 5x= Rs. (5x500) = Rs. 2500.   Rs. 2500nswer Rs. 2500
