Question

Distribute Rs.425 among 4 men, 5 women, and 6 children so that the ratio of sum received by a men, a women and a child be 9:8:4.

Answer 1

ratio= 9:8:4
let,
the share of a man=9x
the share of a woman=8x
the share of a child = 4x
hence,
a/q:- (4×9x)+(5×8x)+(6×4x)= 425
=> 36x+40x+24x=425
=> 100x = 425
=> x =425/100
=4.25
therefore,
share of a man=> 9x=9×4.25= Rs 38.25
share of a woman=>8x=8×4.25=Rs 34
share of a child => 4x=4×4.25=Rs 17
