If a certain amount is fully distributed among A, B & C in such a way that A receives 1/3rd of the amount, B receives 1/9th of the amount and C receives Rs. 5000, then how much money would A receive
1). Rs. 1000
2). Rs. 2000
3). Rs. 3000
4). Rs. 4000
Let the Total Amount be x.
Then According to the question,
x/3 + x/9 + 5000 = x
(3x + x + 45000)/9 = x
4x + 45000 = 9x
5x = 45000
x = 9000
Since A gets 1/3rd, ∴ A’s Share = 9000/3 = Rs. 3000
