Question

Rupees 9000 is distributed among 3 friends in such a manner that the second friend gets twice the amount of the first friend and the third friend gets exactly the half of the total amount of the first two friends. Calculate how much money each of them will get .​

Answer 1

1st friend = 2000

2nd friend = 4000

3rd friend = 3000

Step-by-step explanation:

amount 1st friend will get = x

amount 2nd friend will get = 2x

amount 3rd friend will get = (2x + x)/2

2x + x + 3x/2 = 9000

3x + 3x/2 = 9000

6x/2 + 3x/2 = 9000

9x / 2 = 9000

9x = 18,000

x = 2000

first friend = 2000

second friend = 2 × 2000 =   4000

third friend = (2000 + 4000) / 2  = 3000
