Question

Mr. Gupta divides Rs 81000 among his three children Ashok, Mohit and Geeta in such a way that Ashok gets four times. what Mohit gets and Mohit gets 2.5 times what Geeta gets. Find the share of each of them.

Answer 1

Let the share of Geeta = 1

Share of Mohit is (2-5 times of Geeta) = 2.5

Share of Ashok is (4 times of Mohit) = 4 x 2.5 = 10

Ratio = 1 : 2.5 : 10 = 1 x 2 :2.5 x 2 : 10 x 2 = 2 : 5 : 20

Sum of ratio = 2 + 5 + 20 = 27

Share of Geeta = 2/27 x Rs 81000 = 2 x Rs 3000 = Rs 6000

Share of Mohit = 5/27 x Rs 81000 = 5 x Rs 3000 = Rs 15000

Share of Ashok = 20/27 x Rs 81000 = 20 x Rs 3000 = Rs 60000

I can't understand that portion why 2 multiply by the ratio... 1*2 : 2.5*2 : 10*2
