Question

a man divided Rs. 75000 among his four sons and 3 daughter. So that each son got as much as three daughters together got. Each son got?

Answer 1

Let each daughter got = x
so three daughter together got 3x
so each son got 3x
So four sons got 4× 3x= 12x
so 12x + 3x =75000
15x= 75000
x=5000
So each daughter got rs.5000
and each son got rs.15000

Answer 2

let money for each daughter be x.
so, money for 3 daughters together will be 3x.
therefore money which 1 boy got is 3x.
so, money got by four boys all together will be 4(3x) = 12x.
now, according to question,
12x + 3x = 75000
15x = 75000
x = 5000
so 3x = 15000
so each boy got rupees 15000
