let Rahul receive = Rs x
Ajay recive = one-fifth of Rahul = Rs x/5
Ekta receive = twice as much as Ajay = Rs 2x/5
total amount = Rs 1000
x+x/5 +2x/5 =1000
(5x+x+2x)/5 =1000
8x= 5000
x= 5000/8
x= 625
therefore
Rahul get = x = Rs 625
Ajay get = x/5 = 625/5 = Rs 125
Ekta get = 2x/5 = 2*125 =Rs 250
Ajay recive = one-fifth of Rahul = Rs x/5
Ekta receive = twice as much as Ajay = Rs 2x/5
total amount = Rs 1000
x+x/5 +2x/5 =1000
(5x+x+2x)/5 =1000
8x= 5000
x= 5000/8
x= 625
therefore
Rahul get = x = Rs 625
Ajay get = x/5 = 625/5 = Rs 125
Ekta get = 2x/5 = 2*125 =Rs 250
