Given:

A sum of money is to be distributed among Abhay, Bina, Chandan and Divya in the proportion of 5 ∶ 2 ∶ 4 ∶ 3

Calculation:

Let, the common term be m, Divya gets 3m of the money.

According to the question, Chandan gets ₹ 500 more than Divya

So, Chandan = 4m = 3m + 500

⇒ 4m - 3m = 500

⇒ m = 500

Bina = 2m = 2 × 500 = 1000

∴ Bina's share is Rs. 1,000.
