Question

Mr Shah buys a flat and pays $\frac{5}{8}$ part of it by cheque and $\frac{1}{4}$ part of the cost by cash and promises to pay the remaining $4lakh$ later. What is the cost of the flat?

Answer 1

Let the total cost of flat be$=x$

According to question,

$\frac{5x}{8}+\frac{x}{4}+4lakh=x$

$⟹\frac{x}{8}=4$ lakh

$⟹x=32$ lakh
