A mother and her two sons got a room constructed for Rs.60,000. The Elder son contributes 3/8 of his mother's contribution while the younger son contributes 1/2 of his mother's share .How much do the three contribute individually? |

Answer» Hence, share of elder son = 3/8 of x share of younger son = 1/2 of x Given, total share = 60000 share of mother + share of elder son + share of younger son = 60000 => x + ( 3 / 8 of x ) + ( 1 / 2 of x ) = 60000 => x + ( 3x / 8 ) + ( x / 2 ) = 60000 => ( 8x + 3x + 4X ) = 480000 => 15x = 480000 => x = 32000 Hence, Share of mother = x = RS 32000 share of elder son = 3x / 8 = 3(32000)/8 = Rs12000 Share of younger son = 32000/2 = 16000 |
