Question
Tanu has 5 stickers, and Megha has 4 stickers. When Kasish joins them, all 9 stickers are redistributed equally among the three, meaning each person receives 3 stickers. Since Kasish initially had no stickers, they compensate Tanu and Megha with ₹15 in total. This amount is divided between Tanu and Megha in proportion to the number of stickers they gave to Kasish. What is the difference in the amount received by Tanu and Megha?
Solution
In total ( 5+4)/3= 9 /3 = 3 stickers were distributed among three people.
It means Tanu has given (5-3) = 2 stickers to Kasish and Megha has given ( 4 - 3) = 1 sticker to Kasish.
Since Tanu and Megha receive the amount in ratio of the donations, thus Tanu receives = (15 X 2)/3 = Rs.10 and Megha receives = ( 15 X 1)/3 = Rs.5
Thus the difference = (15-10) = Rs 5
