Solution
Let Akhil's share be ₹ x then
Sohil's share = ₹`(2)/(3)x`
and Sunil's share = ₹`(4)/(5)(2/3x + x)`
= ₹`(4)/(3)x`.
According to the question
`(4)/(3)x + (2)/(3) x + x` = 720
⇒ `(4x + 2x + 3x)/(3)` = 720
⇒ 9x = 720 x 3
⇒ x = `(720 xx 3)/(9)` = 240
∴ Their respective shares are ₹320, ₹160 and ₹240.
