Answer:₹80
Step-by-step explanation:The statement "His younger brother received half as much money as his brother received" can also be written as "The money was divided between the brothers in the ratio of 1:2." So we have to divide₹ 240 in the ratio 1:2. Let the amounts be x and 2x So,
Total=3x(2x+x)
3x =₹240
So x=240/3=₹80
2x=2*₹80=₹160
So he received ₹80 and is older brother received ₹160.
