Question

Two man, sitting on the dining table. One man
has 7 eggs and other had 5 eggs. A third man
passing by requested them to share their food in
return for money. The there of them shared the
eggs equally and the third traveler paid the other
two a total of Rs 24. Find the difference between
the amounts received by first two men?​

Answer 1

Answer:

As the two men had a total of 12 (=7+5) eggs, also they agreed to share eggs in such a manner that all three of them got an equal number of eggs. So each of them must have got 4(=123) eggs.

The first and the second man must have given 3(=7−4) eggs and 1(=5−4) egg to the third man.

Hence, the ratio of their share is 3:1.

Now, money has to be distributed in the ratio of their contribution. As total money paid by the stranger is Rs. 24.

Hence the first and the second man get Rs 18(=24×33+14×13+1) respectively.

The 1st man gets Rs 12(=18−6) more than the second.

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference is 12₹.

Step-by-step explanation:

7+5 = 12

12/3 = 4

Third man paid 24₹

24 / 4 = 6 ₹ = amount of 1 egg

First man shared 3 eggs (7-4)

so he received 18₹ (3×6)

Second man shared 1 egg (5-4)

so he received 6 ₹ (1×6)

The difference is 18 - 6 = 12₹.
