Answer:
Option b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
A sum of 55000/-was divided among Suresh, Naresh and Mahesh in such a way that Naresh's share was 3/8 of the total share of Suresh and Mahesh.
To find :-
Find Naresh's share.?
Solution:-
Given that:
Shared amount = Rs. 55,000
Number of people were shared the amount = 3
They are Suresh ,Naresh and Mahesh
Let the total share of Suresh and Mahesh be Rs. X
Then Naresh 's share = 3/8 of the total share of Suresh and Mahesh
=> 3/8 of Rs. X
=> 3/8 × X
=> 3X/8
Naresh 's Share = Rs. 3X/8
Total money = Shares of three people
=> X+(3X/8) = 55,000
=> (8X+3X)/8 = 55,000
=> 11X/8 = 55,000
=> 11X = 55,000×8
=> 11X = 4,40,000
=> X = 4,40,000/11
=> X = 40,000
Therefore X = Rs. 40,000
Total shares of Suresh and Mahesh = Rs. 40,000
Naresh ' s Share
= 55,000-40,000
= Rs. 15,000
