Question

mr.mehra gave one-third of his money to his son, one fifth of his daughter, and the remaining amount to his wife. if his wife got rupees 91000, how much money did Mr.mehra have originally. Ans 195000

Answer 1

Let the original amount with Mr. Mehra = x
Money given to son = 1/3 x
Money given to daughter = 1/5 x
Money given to wife (the remaining amount) = Rs. 91,000.
Now, as per question
1/3 x + 1/5 x + 91000 = x
 8/15 x + 91000 = x
91000 = x- 8/15x
91000 = 7/15 x
91000 * 15/7 = x
Hence, x = 195000 which is the original amount that Mr. Mehra had.
