If a sum of ₹ 275 is to be divided between Ram and Shyam so that Ram gets $\frac{3}{4}$ th more of what Shyam gets, then the share of Ram will be
(a)₹ 100
(b)₹ 160
(c)₹ 175
(d)₹ 200
Answer
Explanation
Let Shyam's share be ₹ $x$. Then, Ram's share $$\begin{aligned} & =₹\left(x+\frac{3}{4} x\right)=₹ \frac{7 x}{4} . \\ & \therefore \quad x+\frac{7 x}{4}=275 \Leftrightarrow \frac{11 x}{4}=275 \Leftrightarrow x=\frac{275 \times 4}{11}=100 . \end{aligned}$$ So, Ram's share $=₹\left(\frac{7 \times 100}{4}\right)=₹ 175$.
