A mother and her two sons constructed a room for ₹60000. The elder son contribute 3/8 of his mother contribution while the younger son contribute 1/2 of his mother share. How much do three contribute individually?
Answers
Answer:
Mother share = Rs 32000
Elder Son Share = Rs 12000
younger Son Contribution = Rs 16000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Say Mother contributed = 8M Rs
Elder Son contribution = (3/8)8M = 3M Rs
Younger Son contribution = (1/2)8M = 4M Rs
Total Contribution = 8M + 3M + 4M = Rs 15 M
15 M = 60000
=> M = 4000
Mother share = 8M = Rs 32000
Elder Son Share = 3M = Rs 12000
younger Son Contribution = 4M = Rs 16000
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the mother's share be 'a'
Elder son's share = (3/8)a
Younger son's share = (1/2) a
Total contribution by them = a + (3/8) a + (1/2) a
= (8/8) a + (3/8) a + (4/8) a
= (15/8) a
Also, total contribution = Rs 60000
Thus,
(15/8) a = 60000
a = (60000 x 8) /15
= 4000 x 8
= 32000
Thus
Mother's share = Rs 32000
Elder son's share = 3/8 x 32000 = 3 x 4000 = Rs 12000
Younger son's share = 1/2 x 32000 = Rs 16000
