₹$5400$ is divided among A, B and C in the ratio $3 : 5 : 7$. How much does B receive?
A₹$1500$
B₹$1800$
C₹$2100$
D₹$2400$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. ₹$1800$
**Step 1 — value of one part.** Total parts $= 3 + 5 + 7 = 15$. One part $= \dfrac{5400}{15} = 360$.
**Step 2 — B's share.** B has $5$ parts $= 5 \times 360 = ₹1800$.
**Other shares.** A receives $3 \times 360 = ₹1080$, and C receives $7 \times 360 = ₹2520$. These are not B's share.
