Question

Divided rupees 1,380 among Ahmed,John and Babita so that the amount Ahmed recive is five times as much as Babita share and is three times as much as John's share

Answer 1

Let babita share be Rs x. Then,
Ahmed share = Rs 5x
John share = Total amount -(Babita share + Ahmed share)
= 1380 -(x + 5x)
=Rs (1380 - 6x)

It is given that Ahmed share is three time John share.

5x = 3(1380-6x)
5x = 4140 - 18x
23x = 4140
x = 180

Babita share = Rs180
Ahmed share = Rs(5*180) = Rs900
John share = Rs(1380-6*180) = Rs300
