Division of Rs.324 between X and Y in the ratio 11 : 7 gives them
A(Rs.204, Rs.120)
B(Rs.180, Rs.144)
C(Rs.200, Rs.124)
D(Rs.198, Rs.126)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. (Rs.198, Rs.126)
1. Sum of ratio parts = 11 + 7 = 18.
2. X's share = (11/18) of 324 = 11 * 18 = 198.
3. Y's share = (7/18) of 324 = 7 * 18 = 126.
4. So X gets Rs.198 and Y gets Rs.126; option B uses a wrong sum-of-parts.
