Question

divide 2000 amongst four friends x,y,z and p in such a way that the sum of share of x and z and sum of share of y and p are in a ratio of 1:3 the division amongst these four friends will be​

Answer 1

answer is in the attachment below

Answer 2

Answer:

sum of share of x and z = 500

sum of share of y and p = 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of share of x and z and sum of share of y and p are in a ratio of 1:3

Let say sum of share of x and z  = K

then sum of share of y and p = 3K

K + 3K  = 2000

=> 4K = 2000

=> K = 500

sum of share of x and z = 500

sum of share of y and p = 1500

the division amongst these four friends can be in many ways

few of these examples are mentioned below

        X                  Y               Z                  P

       250              750           250              750

       200              500           300              1000

       100              600           400              900

       300              700           200              800

       400              800           100              700

       350              900           150              600

       150              1000           350              500
