25 is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chandran has Rs. 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Money Suresh has = $\frac{1}{4}$  of Chandran

           Money Jayesh has = $\frac{1}{3}$  of Suresh

           Difference of amount of Suresh and jayesh = Rs. 100

To find: Amount of Chandran

Let Chandran has Rs. x

Now he gave   $\frac{1}{4}$ of his money to Suresh

⇒ Amount of Suresh =  $\frac{1}{4}\times x$

Now Suresh gave $\frac{1}{3}$ of his money to Jayesh

⇒ Amount of Jayesh =  $\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{4}\times x$

                                   =  $\frac{1}{12}\times x$

Difference of Jayesh amount and Suresh amount = 100

$\frac{1}{4}\times x-\frac{1}{12}\times x=100$

$\frac{3x}{12}-\frac{1x}{12}=100$

$\frac{3x-x}{12}=100$

$\frac{2x}{12}=100$

$\frac{x}{6}=100$

x = 100 × 6

x = 600

Therefore, Chandran has Rs. 600
