Question

divide rs 1380 among ahmed , john, babita so that the amount ahmed recieves is 5 times as much as babita's share and is 3 times as much as john's share.

Answer 1

Dear student

Let Ahmed,John and Babita share is x,y,z

Then x=5z=3y

so, z=x/5 and y =x/3

now, total will be x+x/5+x/3=1380

so x =900

z=180 and y=300

Hence share of Ahmed,john and Babita are Rs900. Rs300 and Rs180
