Answer:
Let the ratio be 2x:5x:5x:8x.
According to Question,
2x + 5x + 5x + 8x = 5000
=> 20x = 5000
=> x = 250
Prize received by first brother = $2 × 250 = $500
Prize received by second brother = $5 × 250 = $1250
Prize received by third brother = $1250
Prize received by fourth brother = $8 × 250 = $2000
