\(\text{₹}9,520\) is divided among X, Y, and Z in the ratio \(\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{4} : \frac{5}{16}\). What is the share of Y?
₹2,240
The ratio is \(\frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{4} : \frac{5}{16}\). Taking the LCM of denominators as 16, multiply each term by 16.
This gives \(8 : 4 : 5\).
The sum of the ratio terms is \(8 + 4 + 5 = 17\).
Y's share is \(\frac{4}{17} \times 9520 = \text{₹}2,240\).
Hence, the share of Y is ₹2,240.
