Pavan gave 20% and 30% of his salary to his two friends Chandan and Lakshman. Chandan and Lakshman spend 40% and 50% of their money respectively. What is the ratio between the amount left with Chandan and Lakshman together and the amount left with Pavan? Correct Answer 27 ∶ 50
Given:
The amount that Pavan gives to Chandan = 20%
The amount that Pavan gives to Lakshman = 30%
Chandan and Lakshman spend 40% and 50% of their money.
Calculation:
Let the salary of Pavan be x
The amount that Pavan gives to Chandan = 20% of x
⇒ (20 / 100) × x = x / 5
The amount that Chandan spent = 40% of (x / 5)
⇒ (40 / 100) × (x / 5) = 2x / 25
Amount left with Chandan = (x / 5) – (2x / 25) = 3x / 25
The amount that Pavan gives to Lakshman = 30% of x
⇒ (30 / 100) × x = 3x / 10
The amount that Lakshman spent = 50% of (x / 4)
⇒ (50 / 100) × (3x / 10) = 3x / 20
Amount left with Lakshman = (3x / 10) – (3x / 20) = 3x / 20
The total amount that left with Chandan and Lakshman
⇒ (3x / 25) + (3x / 20) = 27x / 100
Now the amount left with Pavan
⇒ x – (x / 5) – (3x / 10) = 5x / 10 = x / 2
Now to find the ratio between the amount left with Chandan and Lakshman together and the amount left with Pavan
⇒ The total amount that left with Chandan and Lakshman ∶ the amount left with Pavan
⇒ 27x / 100 ∶ x / 2
⇒ 27 ∶ 50
∴ The ratio between the amount left with Chandan and Lakshman together and the amount left with Pavan is 27 ∶ 50.
