If three staff of Chukwudi and Sons Ltd. agreed to share their salary arrears in the ration of their ages, which are 18 years, 20 years, 22 years respectively. If the sum of the money collected is ₦120,000.00K, How much does the second staff receive?

Answer Details

To determine how much the second staff receives, we need to find out the total ratio of the ages of the three staff, which is 18 + 20 + 22 = 60. Next, we need to find the ratio of the second staff's age to the total age, which is 20/60 = 1/3. Then, we multiply the ratio by the total amount collected to find how much the second staff receives. So, 1/3 x ₦120,000 = ₦40,000. Therefore, the second staff receives ₦40,000. Answer (c) is correct.
