The sum of Rs. 2400 is shared among Nida, Nadia, and Amara. If Nida receives Rs. 600 and the remaining amount is shared between Nadia and Amara in the ratio 4:5 respectively, how much does Amara receive?

Answer: 1000
Explanation

Let's break it down:

Total amount = Rs. 2400

Nida's share = Rs. 600

Remaining amount = Rs. 2400 - Rs. 600 = Rs. 1800

Nadia and Amara share the remaining amount in the ratio 4:5.

Let's divide Rs. 1800 in the ratio 4:5:

Total parts = 4 + 5 = 9

Amara's share = (5/9) × Rs. 1800

= Rs. 1000
