Explanation
- A sum of Rs 750 is distributed among A, B, C and D.
- A gets as much as B and C together.
- B gets Rs. 125 more than C.
- D gets as much as C.
Let suppose C gets “y” then D should also get “y”, B will get “125 + y” and A will take “125 +y + y”.
So, we have a final expression;
125 + y + y + 125 + y + y + y = 750
Through this expression we can easily find out the value of “y” and A’s share.
To Find
A’s share = ?
Solution
Let suppose
C gets = y
D = y
B = 125 + y
A = 125 +y + y
Now, according to the condition;
125 + y + y + 125 + y + y + y = 750
250 + 5y = 750
5y = 500
y = 100
A’s share = 125 + y + y = 125 + 100 + 100 = Rs. 325 answer
Conclusion
A sum of Rs 750 is distributed among A, B, C and D in such a manner that A gets as much as B and C together, B gets Rs. 125 more than C and D gets as much as C. A’s share will be Rs. 325.
