Divide ₹7000 Among A B and C Such That A Gets 50% Of What B Gets And B Gets 50% Of What C Gets
Given: 7000 Rs is divided among A, B, and C in such a way that A gets 50% of what B gets and B gets 50% of what C gets.
To find: We have to find how much did A, B, and C gets individually.
Solution:
Let the amount C gets = a
So, the amount B gets = 50% of a = $\frac{a}{2}$
And, the amount A gets = 50% of a/2 = $\frac{a}{4}$
Now,
a + $\frac{a}{2}$ + $\frac{a}{4}$ = 7000
=> $\frac{4a\ +\ 2a\ +\ a}{4} \ =\ 7000$
=> $\frac{7a}{4} \ =\ 7000$
=> $a\ =\ 7000\ \times \ \frac{4}{7}$
=> a = 4000
Therefore,
The amount A gets = $\frac{a}{4} \ =\ \frac{4000}{4} \ =\ 1000$
The amount B gets = $\frac{a}{2} \ =\ \frac{4000}{2} \ =\ 2000$
The amount C gets = a = ₹ 4000
