Question

10. Mr. Gupta divides 81,000 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

Step-by-step explanation:

let geeta gets x

mohit gets 2.5x

ashok gets 10x

x+2.5x+10x=81000

13.5x=81000

x=81000/13.5

x=6000

2.5x=15000

10x=60000

Answer 2

Answer:

Geeta = 6000

Mohit = 15000

Ashok = 60000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let geeta have 1 part of share

so mohit will have

$1 \times 2.5 = 2.5$

percent share

Now let Ashok have

$4 \times 2.5 = 10$

10 parts of share

Adding all up

$1 + 2.5+ 10$

$= 13.5$

1 part share =

$81000 \div 13.5$

$= 6000$

Geeta share = 6000

Mohit share

$2.5 \times 6000$

$= 15000$

Mohit = 15000

Ashok share =

$4 \times 15000$

$60000$

cross check : -

$6000 + 15000 + 60000$

$= 81000$
