Answer 2

Answer:

Cost of the Car = 78,000 Rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Let the amount paid by first friend = x

So,

Amount paid by others = 2x

Therefore, total amount paid = 2x + x = 3x

Now, so,

The amount paid by the second friend = 3x/4

Amount paid by others = 9x/4

Also,

The amount paid by the third friend = 3x/5

Amount paid by others = 12x/5

And,

Amount paid by fourth friend = 13,000 Rs.

Amount paid by other will be = 13,000 x 5 = 65,000 Rs.

Therefore, the total amount paid for the car = 65,000 + 13,000 = 78,000 Rs.
