Answer 1

Answer:

man gets Rs.80

Step-by-step explanation:

each man gets=X

each woman gets=y

each boy gets=z

given,

(1)each woman may have 3times as much as boy

y=3z

(2)each man as much as a woman and boy together

X=y+z=3z+z=4z

7(4z)+11(3z)+5(z)=1320

66z=1320

z=20

:y=60

:x=80

therefore each man gets is X=80
