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