Question

Sum of 53 is divided among x, y, z in such a way that x gets 7 more what y get and y get 8 more than what z gets. Find the ratio of their share

Answer 1

Answer:

let z got =a rs

now ...y got=(a+8) rs

and X got =(a+8+7)=(a+15)rs

now according to the problem

$a + (a + 8) + (a + 15) = 53 \\ 3a = 53 - 23 \\ = > a = \frac{30}{3} \\ a = 10$

therefore X got=10+15=25 Rs

and y Got=10+8=18 Rs

and z got =10 Rs
