Answer 1

The share will be 200,180,160,140,120

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the share of the youngest Child i.e. Fifth child

We are given that the manner that each son having 20 rs more than the younger one

So, Share of fourth child = x+20

So, Share of third child = x+20+20=x+40

So, Share of second child = x+20+20+20 =x+60

So, Share of first child = x+20+20+20+20 =x+80

Total amount = 1000

So, $x+x+20+x+40+x+60+x+80 =1000$

$5x+200 =1000$

$5x=1000-200$

$5x=800$

$x=\frac{800}{5}$

$x=160$

Hence the share of youngest child is Rs. 160
