Question

- A man donated 1/5 of his total amount and an additional sum of Rs 1000 to his brother and 1/15 of his total amount and an additional sum of Rs 2000 to his son. If his brother gets twice as much as his son, find the total amount of money of the man?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money the man originally have be x

He donates 1/10 to a school

1/10 × x = x/10

Remaining money = x - x/10

= 9x/10

He donates 1/6 to a church from the remaining money,

1/6 × 9x/10 = 3x/20

Remaining money = 9x/10 - 3x/20

= 12x/20

= 3x/4

the remaining money he distributed equally among his three children

= 3(x/4)

So,each child gets x/4 amount.

According to the question,

If each child gets 50000 ,

x/4 = 50000

x = 200000

So the amount of money which the man originally have is 2,00,000.
