Question

Mr. Gupta divides Rs 81000 among his three children Ashok, Mohit, and Geeta in such a way that Ashok gets four times what Mohit gets and Mohit gets 2.5 times what Geeta gets. Find the share of each of them.

Answer 1

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
