    2,82,000 to his 3 friends, 4 uncles, and 2 brothers. Each friend received (3/4) of the share of each uncle, and each brother received (2/5) of the share of each uncle. Find the difference between the share of each friend and each brother.
    A Rs.19,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.15,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.14,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.14,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the share of each Uncle gets be Rs. '20x' So, share of each Friend = 20x × (3/4) = Rs. '15x' And, share of each Brother = 20x  (2/5) = Rs. '8x' ATQ, {3 × 15x + 4 × 20x + 2 × 8x} = Rs. 282,000 Or, 141x = 282,000 So, 'x' = 2000 Therefore, required difference = (15x - 8x) = (7 × 2000) = Rs.14,000
