      Question

      A and B together have total of Rs.4000 out of which they

      donated 20% to the orphanage school. The remaining amount is to be then redistributed between them in such a manner that A gets 50% more amount than B. If the amount received by A is Rs.2X, then find the value of [(X/12) + 8].
      A 121 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 88 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 95 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the amount received by B be Rs.P. Therefore, amount received by A = 1.50 x P = Rs.1.5P According to the question, => (P + 1.5P) = 4000 x 0.8 => 2.5P = 3200 => P = 1280 Share of A = 3200 – 1280 = Rs.1920 So, 2X = 1920 => X = 960 Required value = [(X/12) + 8] = 80 + 8 = 88
