​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Ajay Aman, Suman and Geeta rented a house

and agreed to share the rent as follows

Ajay : Aman: 8:15

Aman : Suman = 5: 8 and

Suman: Geeta = 4:5

The part of rent paid by Suman will be

• Given Ajay : Aman = 8:15
• Aman : Suman = 5 : 8 (multiply by 3)
•                          = 15 : 24
• Therefore Ajay : Aman : Suman
•          = 8 : 15 : 24
• Suman : Geeta = 4: 5 (multiply by 6)
•                        = 24 : 30
• Now part paid by Suman will be 24 / 8 + 15 + 24 + 30
•                                                     = 24 / 77

So out of every Rs 77 rent, Suman must pay Rs 24.
