Answer:
16000
Step-by-step explanation:
Total money contributed by all three of them =Rs. 60000
Let the contribution of the mother be Rs. x.
Therefore,
The contribution by the elder son = 3x/8
The contribution by the younger son = ×/2
According to the question=x+3×/8+x/2
=60000
15x=480000
x=32000
Therefore,
The contribution of the mother =Rs. x=Rs. 32000
The contribution by the elder son = 3x/8
=Rs. 12000
The contribution by the younger son = x/2
=Rs. 16000
