Question

A men leaves Rs. 8600 to be divided among 5 sons 4 daughters AND 2 nephews. If each daughter receives 4 times as much as is nephews and each son receives 5 times as much as is nephews. How much does each daughter receives

Answer 1

So there are 4 daughters, 5 sons and 2 nephews.

Let the money for each daughter = d

son = s

nephew = n

Therefore, 4d + 5s + 2n = 8600 --- (1)

Now, we know that d = 4n and s = 5n......

4(4n) + 5(5n) + 2n = 8600

16n + 25n + 2n = 8600

43n = 8600

n = 8600/43 = 200

So each nephew gets 200 rs.

Each daughter receives = 4n = 4 x 200 = 800 Rs.
