A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of
5 : 1 : 5 : 3. If C gets Rs. 1000 more than D, what is B's share?
Pick one:  A) Rs. 500  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. x, Rs. 5x and Rs. 3x respectively.   Then, 5x - 3x = 1000 ⇔ 2x = 1000 ⇔ x = 500.   ∴ B's share = Rs. x= Rs. 500.   Rs. 500nswer Rs. 500
