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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let geeta gets = x rs

mohit gets = 2.5 times geeta

                 = 2.5x

ashok = 4 times mohit

         = 4×2.5x = 10x

therefore

x + 2.5x + 10x = 81000

13.5x = 81000

x = 81000/13.5

x = 810000/135

x = 6000

geeta = 6000

mohit = 2.5×6000 = 15000

ashok = 10×6000 = 60000

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Geeta gets be x

The amount got by Mohit = 2.5x

The amount got ny Ashok = 4 * 2.5x = 10x

x +  2.5x + 10x = 81000

13.5x = 81000

x = 81000/13.5

x = ₹6000

The amount got by Mohit = 2.5 * 6000 = ₹15,000

The amount got ny Ashok = 10x = 10 * 6000 = ₹60,000
