Correct Answer:
D. D. 2000
Explanation:
Given:
The ratio of A:B:C:DA:B:C:D is 5:2:4:35:2:4:3.
C gets 2000 more than B.
Step 1: Assign Variables Based on the Ratio
Let the common multiplier be xx. Then:
A=5xA=5x
B=2xB=2x
C=4xC=4x
D=3xD=3x
Step 2: Use the Given Condition
We know that C gets 2000 more than B:
C=B+2000
Substitute the ratio values:
4x=2x+2000
Step 3: Solve for xx
4x−2x=20002x=2000x=1000
Step 4: Find BB's Share
B=2x=2×1000=2000
Final Answer:
2000
