Question
Rs. 51,000 is divided among three brothers Animesh,
Paritosh and Ashutosh in such a way that Animesh’s share is 1 `(4)/(5)` times of Paritosh’s and Paritosh’s share is 1 `(2)/(3)` times of Ashutosh ’s share. What is Paritosh’s share?Solution
Let us assume that Paritosh ’s share = 1 ∴Animesh’s share = 9/5 and Ashutosh’s share = 3/5 ∴ Ratio of Animesh’s, Paritosh ’s and Ashutosh’ share = 9/5 :1 : 3/5 = 9 : 5 : 3 Sum of ratio terms = 9 + 5 + 3 = 17 ∴ Paritosh’s share =5/17 × 51,000 = Rs. 15,000
