    Solution

    Let share of β€˜Y’ = Rs. 80x Share of β€˜X’ = 80x + {12.5% of 80x} = Rs. 90x Share of β€˜Z’ = (10/9) Γ— 90x = Rs. 100x Total amount with β€˜X’, β€˜Y’ and β€˜Z’, together = 2700 Γ— 3 = Rs. 8100 So, 90x + 80x + 100x = 8100 Or, 270x = 8100 Or, x = 30 So, share of β€˜Y’ = 80x = 80 Γ— 30 = Rs. 2400
