      Question

      A teacher distributes 300 toffees among her 4 students,

      A, B, C and D. A gets x% of total toffees, B receives 2x% of the remaining toffees, C receives (x + 5)% of the remaining toffees and D receives 108 toffees. Find the value of x?
      A 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Number of toffees received by A = x% of 300 Number of toffees received by B = 2x % of (100 – x)% of 300 Number of toffees received by C = (x + 5)% of (100 – x)%Γ— (100 – 2x)% of 300 (100 – x) Γ— (100 – 2x) Γ— (95 – x) = 36 Γ— 100 Γ— 100 By putting the values from option, we find out that x = 20 satisfies the above equation. Hence, option c) is the correct answer.
