    three employees—Ram, Saran, and Ramen—based on their performance. The distribution was such that Ram received half of the combined amount given to Saran and Ramen, while Ramen received half of the combined amount given to Ram and Saran. Determine the share received by Saran.
    A Rs 7500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 4500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 3750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the shares of Ram, Saran and Ramen be Rs n, Rs y and Rs z
    n + y + z = 11250
    n=(y + z)/2
    => 2n = y + z
    => 3n = n + y + z
    => 3n = 11250
    => n = 3750
    z= (n + y)/2
    => 2z = n + y
    => 3z = n + y + z
    => 3z = 11250
    => z = 3750
    Hence Saran's share= 11250 - (3750 x 2) = Rs 3750
