₹ 555 was to be divided among A, B and C in the ratio

₹ 555 was to be divided among A, B and C in the ratio of 1 : 1 : 1 .
4 5 6
But by mistake it was divided in the ratio of 4 : 5 : 6. The amount in excess received by C was

Case I

A : B : C =	1	:	1	:	1
	4		5		6

=	1	× 60 :	1	× 60 :	1	× 60
	4		5		6

[ LCM of 4, 5 and 6 = 60]
= 15 : 12 : 10
Sum of ratios = 15 + 12 + 10 = 37

∴ C’s share =	10	× 555
	37

= ₹ 150
Case II
A : B : C = 4 : 5 : 6
Sum of ratios = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15

∴ C’s share =	6	× 555
	15

= ₹ 222
∴ Required answer
= ₹ (222 – 150) = ₹ 72
