Question

The sum of Rs 750 is distributed among A, B , C , and D in such a manner that A gets as much as B and C together , B gets Rs 125 more than C, D get as much as C. What is A's share?

Answer 1

By the given conditions, we can say 
a+b+c+d = 750                          eq. 1 
a = b+c
c= d 
b = c +125
so, putting these values in eq. 1, we get 
b+c+c+125+c+c = 750
again putting the value of b in this eq. 
c+125 +c+c+125+c+c = 750 
5c + 250 = 750 
5c = 500
c= 100 
so, b will be 225, d will be 100 and a will be 325

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D's share = Rs. x. Then, C's share = Rs. x

B's share = Rs. (x + 125). A's share = Rs. ( x + x + 125)

= Rs. (2x + 125)

Therefore, (2x + 125) + (x + 125) + x + x = 750

5x = 500

x = 100

Hence, A's share = 2x + 125 = Rs. ( 2 * 100 + 125)

= Rs. 325
