An amount of money is to be distributed among Faruk, Vasim and Ranjith in the ratio 3 : 5 : 8. If Vasims share is Rs. 1500, what is the difference between Faruk's and Ranjith's shares?
Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) s 1200
B) s 1500
C) s 1600
D) s 1900
E) s 1700

Rationale: "explanation : let p = faruk , q = vasim , r = ranjith let p = 3 x , q = 5 x and r = 8 x . then , 5 x = 1500 ? x = 300 . p = 900 , q = 1500 and r = 2400 . hence , ( r - p ) = ( 2400 - 900 ) = 1500 answer : b"
Answer: B
