B) Rs. 1800
C) Rs. 612
D) Rs. 774

Answer 1

Solution :-

Given : A sum of Rs. 2193 is divided among Rinku, Minku and Pinku

Let the Pinku's share be x

Minku's share = x - 25% of x

= x - 0.25x = 0.75x

Rinku's share = 0.75x + 25% of 0.75 x

= 0.75x + 0.1875x = 0.9375x

According to the question,

=> x + 0.75x + 0.9375x = 2193

=> 2.6875x = 2193

=> x = 2193/2.6875 = 816

Hence,

Pinku's share in amount = Rs 816

Answer 2

Given : A sum of Rs. 2193 is divided among Rinku, Minku and Pinku

Let the Pinku's share be x

Minku's share = x - 25% of x

= x - 0.25x = 0.75x

Rinku's share = 0.75x + 25% of 0.75 x

= 0.75x + 0.1875x = 0.9375x

According to the question,

=> x + 0.75x + 0.9375x = 2193

=> 2.6875x = 2193

=> x = 2193/2.6875 = 816
