    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the amount received by 'Bhanu' be Rs. 10x

    Therefore, amount received by 'Aman' = 10x × (7/10) = Rs. 7x

    Amount received by 'Chirag' = 7x × (4/7) = Rs. 4x

    According to the question,

    10x + 7x + 4x = 42000

    ⇒ 21x = 42000

    ⇒ x = 42000 ÷ 21 = 2000

    Therefore, amount received by 'Bhanu' = 10x = 10 × 2000 = Rs. 20,000
