Question

Rs. 13500 are to be distributed among Salma, Kiran and Jenifer in such a way that Salma gets Rs. 1000 more than Kiran and Jenifer gets Rs. 500 more than Kiran. Find the money received by Jenifer.

Answer 1

Let the money received by Kiran be ₹ x.

Then, the money received by Salma = ₹ (x + 1000)

And the money received by Jenifer = ₹ (x + 500)

According to the question,

x + x + 1000 + x + 500 = 13500

⇒ 3x + 1500 = 13500

⇒ 3x = 13500 – 1500

⇒ 3x = 12000

⇒ x = `12000/3`

∴ x = 4000

Hence, the money received by Jenifer = ₹ 4000 + 500 = ₹ 4500
