$$ \\ $$ A certain amount of money is distributed among A, B and C in the ratio of 2:5:3 and another amount of money among B, D and E is also distributed in the same ratio. If the amount distributed among A, B and C is ⅖ of the amount distributed among B, D and E, what is the ratio in which the amount is distributed among A, C and E?\\n | ||
