Question

Your father gave 1/3 of his salary to your mother.your mother gave you 1/3 of her money.you spent 2/3 of your money and left with rs 1200.Find your father salary.

Answer 1

let the salary of father be ₹x.
father gave money to mother = ₹ (1/3 o3f x) = ₹x/3
mother gave money to you = ₹ (1/3 of ×/3)
= ₹ x/9
money spent by you = ₹(2/3 of ×/9)
₹ 2x/27
now , no. of money left = ₹(x/9 - 2x/27) = ₹ x/27.
but , no. of money left = ₹ 1200
therefore, ×/27 = 1200
x = (1200×27)
× = 32400
hence, the salary of father = ₹32400
