Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide ₹ 1500 among a, b and c

a + b + c = 1500 ----1

a receives 1/3 as much as b and c together

a = 1/3 ( b + c ) ----2

b receives 2/3 as a and c together

b = 2/3 ( a + c ) -------3

Now by Eqn ( 1 )

a + b + c = 1500

b + c = 1500 - a

Putting value of ( b + c ) in eqn ( 2 )

a = 1/3 ( b + c )

a = 1/3 ( 1500 - a )

3a = 1500 - a

3a +a = 1500

4a = 1500

a = Rs 375
