Answer 1

Answer:

let the money he won = x rs

money spent on large house = 4x/5

remaining money = x- 4x/5= x/5

money spent on luxury boat = 3/4*x/5= 3x/20

remaining money = x/5- 3x/20= x/20

money spent on trip = x/20 *2/3= 2x/60

remaining money= x/60

a/q x/60 = 50000

so x= 50,000/60

x= 833.33 RS
