Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question
We have ratio A:B:C
Rs.555 was to be divided among A, B and C in the ratio of 1/4:1/5:1/6.
Hence, Sum of the proportion = 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6
= 37/60
Hence:
The share of C initially = 1/6/37/60× 555
1/6 ÷ 37/60 × 555
1/6 × 60/37 × 555
= 150
For the by mistake ratio:
But by mistake it was divided in the ratio 4:5:6.
Sum of proportion = 4 + 5+ 6
= 15
Amount received by C = 6/15 × 555
= 222
The amount in excess received by C is calculated as:
222 - 150
= 72
