Total amount = ₹682
Ratio of shares = 18 : 3 : 9
Formula used:
Share of each = (Ratio of individual / Sum of ratios) × Total amount
Difference between largest and smallest shares = Largest share - Smallest share
Calculation:
Sum of ratios = 18 + 3 + 9 = 30
Share of largest = (18 / 30) × ₹682
⇒ Share of largest = ₹409.2
Share of smallest = (3 / 30) × ₹682
⇒ Share of smallest = ₹68.2
Difference = ₹409.2 - ₹68.2
⇒ Difference = ₹341
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
