Solution
Let the share of Geeta = 1
Share of Mohit is (2.5 times of Geeta) = 2.5
Share of Ashok is (4 times of Mohit) = 4 × 2.5 = 10
Ratio = 1 : 2.5 : 10 = 1 × 2 : 2.5 × 2 : 10 × 2 = 2 : 5 : 20
Sum of ratio = 2 + 5 + 20 = 27
Share of Geeta = `2/27`× Rs 81000 = 2 × Rs 3000 = Rs 6000
Share of Mohit = `5/27`× Rs 81000 = 5 × Rs 3000 = Rs 15000
Share of Ashok = `20/27`× Rs 81000 = 20 × Rs 3000 = Rs 60000
