A sum of Rs. 1,50,000 is distributed among three persons - A, B and C - so that they receive 20%, 30% and 50%, respectively. A receives the same amount from another sum of money which is distributed among them so that they receive 50%, 30% and 20%, respectively. Find the total amount received from both sums of money, by B. Correct Answer Rs. 63,000
Given:
1,50,000 is distributed among A,B and C
They receive 20%,30% and 50% respectively
Calculation:
Amount receive by A = (20/100) × 1,50,000
= Rs.30,000
Amount receive by B = (30/100) × 1,50,000
= Rs.45,000
Amount receive by C = (50/100) × 1,50,000
= Rs.75,000
Now
A receives the same amount from another sum which is 50% of the total amount
⇒ Rs. 30,000 is 50% of another amount sum
⇒ 2nd amount is Rs.60,000
Also
B receives 30% of 2nd amount
⇒ (30/100) × 60,000
= Rs.18,000
∴ Total amount received by B is Rs.45,000 + Rs.18,000 i.e Rs.63,000
