Question

A man divides rs 8600 among 5 sons, 4 daughters and 2 nephews. If each daughter receives four times as much as each nephew, and each son receives five times as much as each nephew, how much does each daughter receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

Daughter's partition will be 800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let nephew's division be x.

Then daughter's partition will be 4x and son's partition will be 5x.

Since there are 5 sons, 4 daughters and 2 nephews,

8600 = 5×(5x) + 4×(4x) + 2×(x)

8600= 25x + 16x + 2x

8600= 43x

8600/43 = x

x = 200

Daughter's division = 4x

= 4 × 200

= 800
