When divided on above ratio, the amount is broken into 12 equal parts, 1st person get 1/12th, 2nd get 2/12th, 3rd get 4/12th and 4th person get 5/12th.
So 1st person get 1/12th of 120000 which is 10000
5th erson gets highest share as he takes 5 out of 12 parts = 5/12*120000 = 50000
Difference between highest and lowest = 50K-10K =40000
Hence both are equal.
So 1st person get 1/12th of 120000 which is 10000
5th erson gets highest share as he takes 5 out of 12 parts = 5/12*120000 = 50000
Difference between highest and lowest = 50K-10K =40000
Hence both are equal.

We can write as,
x + 2x +3x + 4x +5x =120,000
or x = 10,000
SO the price money is divided as : 10,000 : 20,000 : 40,000 : 50,000
Quantity A:- difference between the greatest and least share = 50,000 -10,000 =40,000
Hence option C

when the ratios are added they become 12 i.e 5+4+2+1
lowest share is 1/12 * 120000 = 10000
highest share is 5/12 * 120000 = 50000
there difference is 50000-10000 = 40000
_________________
lowest share is 1/12 * 120000 = 10000

x : 2x :4x : 5x = (1+2+4+5)x = 12x
12x = 120,000
x = 10,000. .: Least share (x)= 10,000
Greatest share(5x)=50,000
(50,000-10,000)= 40,000
Hence quantity A = Quantity B
Answer C
