Question

Rs. 780 is divided among 2 men, 6 women and 8 boys so that the share of a man, a woman and a boy are in the ratio 3:2:1. Then, how much does a boy get ?

Answer 1

Hi,

Now we make a table with above information

____________________________

Men.: Women. : boys

2. 6. 8. Members

3. 2. 1. Ratio

Multiply each column we get
______________________

6. : 12. : 8
_______________________

Individual shares of men , women and sons are

6x , 12x. and respectively 8x

And
given amouny distributed = Rs 780

6x + 12x + 8x = 780

26x = 780

x = 780/ 26

After cancellation

x = 30

Share of men = 6x = 6 × 30 = Rs 180

Share of women = 12x = 12 × 30 = Rs 360

Share of boys = 12x = 12 × 3 = Rs 360

Share of each boy = 360/12 = Rs 30

I hope this will usful to you.
