1.	Ramesh distributed his capital, half of the Capital to his wife, one third to his son and remaining 50,000/- to his daughter. Find the total amount of his capital.
Answer» Let x be the total money. Then, according to question, Money given to wife = x/2 Money given to son = x/3 Money given to daughter = Rs 50,000 ∴From question, x/2 + x/3 + 50000 = x ⇒ 3x + 2x + 50,000 x 6 = 6x [Multiplying by 6] ⇒ 5x + 3,00,000 = 6x ⇒ 3,00,000 = 6x – 5x ⇒ 3,00,000 = x ⇒ x = 3,00,000 Hence, the required money is Rs 3,00,000.

Answer»

Let x be the total money.

Then, according to question,

Money given to wife = x/2

Money given to son = x/3

Money given to daughter = Rs 50,000

∴From question,

x/2 + x/3 + 50000 = x

⇒ 3x + 2x + 50,000 x 6 = 6x [Multiplying by 6]

⇒ 5x + 3,00,000 = 6x

⇒ 3,00,000 = 6x – 5x

⇒ 3,00,000 = x

⇒ x = 3,00,000

Hence, the required money is Rs 3,00,000.
