Eric, Nick and Archi make contributions to the Society Of Nature Protection in the ratio of 5:3:2.5. If altogether they contribute 5145 Nis, how much more money does Nick contribute than Archi?

A. 128 Nis
B. 212 Nis
C. 234 Nis
D. 245 Nis
E. 288 Nis

The contributions of Eric : Nick : Archi = 5 : 3 : 2.5 . This can be re written as. 10 : 6 : 5

Total = 10x + 6x + 5x = 21x

21x = 5145

x = 245

Difference between Nick and Archi = 6x - 5x = x = 245

Option D

The sum of their ratio is = 5+3+2.5=10.5
Let the constant factor in this case be 'k'
So acc to given question:
10.5*(k)=5145
k=490
Difference between Nick and Archi=
3*490-2.5*490
=>490(3-2.5)
=>490* 0.5
245 option (D)
