Explanation
- A bonus of Rs. 1000 is to be divided among three people.
- Rashid receives twice as much as Sohail.
- Sohail receives one fifth as much as Ghani.
Let suppose Ghani receives “g”. Now; according to the question Sohail should receive “g/5” and Rashid should receive “2g/5”.
g + g/5 + 2g/5 = 1000
By solving this equation we can easily determine the money received by Ghani.
To Find
Money received by Ghani = ?
Solution
Let suppose
Money received by Ghani = g
Money received by Sohail = g/5
Money received by Rashid = 2g/5
According to the given condition;
g + g/5 + 2g/5 = 1000
(5g + g + 2g)/5 = 1000
8g/5 = 1000
8g = 1000 x 5
8g = 5000
g = 625 answer
Conclusion
A bonus of Rs. 1000 is divided among three people so that Rashid receives twice as much as Sohail, who receives one fifth as much as Ghani. Ghani receives Rs. 625.
