Question

What sum of money was divided among a, b and c if b and c get rs. 100, c and a get rs. 150 and a gets twice as much as b?

Answer 1

Answer:

b for rs. 75

Step-by-step explanation:

c=100

a=150

b=?

150/2 =

=75

Answer 2

The Sum of money which was divided among a,b and c is Rs. 200

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that b and c gets Rs 100, c and a gets Rs 150

That is b+c=100, c+a = 150

Also

a=2b

We will substitute a=2b in c+a =150 and solve for c

c+2b =150

⇒c=150-2b

Now we will substitute c=150-2b in b+c=100 and solve for b

b+c=100

⇒b+150-2b=100

⇒-b=100-150

⇒-b=-50

⇒b=50

Again substituting the value of b in a=2b we get:

a=2×50

a=100

Finally substituting the value of b in c=150-2b we get

c=150-(2×50)

c=150-100

c=50

Thus the sum of money will be a+b+c, that is

Sum of money = 50+100+50=200
