Question

Divide Rs. 65 among 3 men, giving the second men Rs. 5 more than the 3rd man and the 1st man three times as much as the 3rd man

Answer 1

Answer:

The 1st man got Rs. 36

The 2nd man got Rs. 17

And the 3rd man got Rs. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that, the 3rd man got Rs. x

∴ The 1st man got Rs. 3x

And the 2nd man got Rs. (x + 5)

According to the problem:

3x + (x + 5) + x = 65

=> 5x = 65 - 5 = 60

∴ x = 12

∴ The 1st man got Rs. 36

The 2nd man got Rs. (12 + 5) = Rs. 17

And the 3rd man got Rs. 12
