Question
Rs. 36000 is shared among 'Pawan', 'Qureshi' and 'Raju'
such that 'Pawan' receives (3/5) of what 'Qureshi' gets and (3/2) times of what 'Raju' gets. What is the amount received by 'Qureshi'?Solution
ATQ,
Let the amount received by 'Qureshi' be Rs. 5x
Therefore, amount received by 'Pawan' = 5x × (3/5) = Rs. 3x
Amount received by 'Raju' = 3x ÷ (3/2) = 3x × (2/3) = Rs. 2x
According to the question,
5x + 3x + 2x = 36000
⇒ 10x = 36000
⇒ x = 36000 ÷ 10 = 3600
Therefore, amount received by 'Qureshi' = 5x = 5 × 3600 = Rs. 18,000
