Question

In a game of cards, A and B together had four times as
much money as ‘R’, while R and B together had three
times as much as A. What fraction of the total money
did R have in the game?

Answer 1

Answer:

R have 1/5 of total money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Total money = X

Then

According to the first condition

Money of ( A + B ) = 4R

And

Money of ( B + R ) = 3A

And we know by common sense that

A + B + C = X = Total money

Putting A + B = 4R we get

4R + R = X

So

5R = X

And

R = X/5

Thus

R have 1/5 of total money that is R = X/5
