A sum of Rs. 1360 has been divided among Atif, Babar and Aqeel such that Atif gets 2/3 of what Babar gets and Babar gets 1/4 of what Aqeel gets. Babar' s share is:

Answer 1

If they get shares of x,y,z, respectively, then

x = 2/3 y
y = 1/4 z
x+y+z = 1360

We want to know what y is, so substitute in for x and z:

2/3 y + y + 4y = 1360
17/3 y = 1360
y = 240
