retirement from his employer. If he gives half of
this money along with 10000 to his daughter and
- 10
rd of the money to his son, then he is left with
3
3000. Find the amount of money received by
Karan on retirement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x=the amount of money kanchan received on her retirement

a=amt. received by daughter

b=amt. received by son

(1)a=x/2+10000

(2)b=x/3+3000

(3)a=2b

Sltn:

Substituting (1) and (2) to (3),

x/2+10000=2(x/3+3000)

x/2+10000=2x/3+6000

6(x/2+10000)=6(2x/3+6000)

3x+60000=4x+36000

3x+60000-36000=4x+36000-36000

3x+24000=4x

x=24000
