Question

Reeta received a certain amount of money on her retirement from her

company. She gives half of this money and additional sum of Rs 10,000 to her

daughter. She also gives one third of the money received and an additional sum of Rs

3000 to her son. If the daughter gets twice as much as her son, find the total amount

of money Reeta received from her company.

when we equate this, we get,
x=24,000
