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
