Question

A total amount of $Rs.1560$ is to divided among $A,B$ and $C$ such that A gets $50\%$ of what $B$ gets and $B$ gets $20\%$ of what $C$ gets. How much will each of them get?

Answer 1

Let $C$ will get $Rs.x$

$B$ will get $20\%\times x=0.2x$

$A$ will get $50\%\times 0.2x=0.1x$

Total amount $=x+0.2x+0.1x=Rs.1560$

$⟹x=Rs.1200$

Hence $C$ will get $Rs.1200$.

$B$ will get $=0.2x=Rs.1200\times 0.2=Rs.240$.

$A$ will get $=0.1x=Rs.1200\times 0.1=Rs.120$.
