Question

1
Mr. Sinha distributes a certain sum of money among his five sons, one daughter and his wife in such a way that each son gets double the amount of his daughter and the wife gets double the amount of each son. If each son gets Rs. 15000, what was the total amount distributed?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount distributed is ₹112500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount received by daughter be x

then amount received by son is 2x

then amount received by wife is 4x

2x = 15000

x = 7500

then,

2x+2x+2x+2x+2x+x+4x = 15x            .....(1)

putting x = 7500 in eq.(1)

15 * 7500 = 112500
