Question

3 prize are to be distributed in a quiz contest. the value of the second prize is five sixths of the First prize and the value of the third prize is four fifths of second prize. if the total value of the 3 prize is 330 rupee. find the value of each prize.

Answer 1

Let the value of the first prize be Rs.x
So value of second prize=5/6*x
Value of the third prize=4/5*x of 5/6*x
                                    =2/3*x
So,2/3*x=Rs.330
           2x=330*3
             x=990/2
             x=Rs.495
Value of second prize=5/6*495
                                  =Rs.412.5
Hope This Helps.
