Question

A man and woman share $Rs4500$ in the ratio $2:3$. The woman, in turn divides her share of money amongst herself, her husband, her son and her daughter in the ratio $5:4:4:3$. How much will her husband get ?

• A. $Rs450$
• B. $Rs675$
• C. $Rs562.50$
• D. $Rs506.25$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $Rs675$

The man and woman share $Rs.4500$ in the ratio $2:3$

Then the share of man $=\frac{4500\times 2}{5}=Rs1800$

And the share of woman $=\frac{4500\times 3}{5}=Rs2700$

The woman gets her share of money divided among herself, her husband, her son and her daughter in the ratio $5:4:4:3$

So, now

Share of the woman $=\frac{2700\times 5}{16}=Rs843.75$

Share of her husband $=\frac{2700\times 4}{16}=Rs675$

Share of her son $=\frac{2700\times 4}{16}=Rs675$

Share of her daughter $=\frac{2700\times 3}{16}=Rs506.25$

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
