Question

Divide 16,000 among A,B,C so that A gets 50% of what B gets and B gets 50% of what C gets

Answer 1

Let c gets Rs. x

then ,

b gets 50% of c =50/100 * x =1/2x

and a gets 50% of b =50/100 * 1/2x =1/4x

now, Rs. of a + Rs. of b + Rs. of c = Rs. 7000

so, 1/4x + 1/2x + x = 7000

x = Rs. 4000

∴c gets Rs. 4000

b gets Rs. 2000

and a gets Rs. 1000
