Question

mother and her two sons get a room constructed for rupees 60000 the elder son contributes 3 by 8 of his mother's contribution while the younger son contributes one by two of his mother's share how much do the three contribute individually​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume Mother contribues 'x'

then the eldest son contributes 3x/8

and the younget son contributes 1x/2

Total contribution = x + 3x/8 + 1x/2

=>8x/8 +  3x/8 + 4x/8

=>15x/8

now According To the Question

15x/8 = 60000

x/8     = 60000/15 = 4000

x         = 4000*8 = 32000

∴Mother contibutes = x = 32000

elder son contributes = 3x/8 = (3*32000)/8 = 1200

Younger son contributes = x/2 = 32000/2 = 16000
