A man divides Rs 8,60,000 among his 5 sons, 4 daughters and 2 nephews. If each daughter receives four times as much as each nephew and each son receives five times as much as each nephew, then how much does each daughter receive?
ARs 80000 ✓ Correct
BRs 50000
CRs 100000
DRs 60000
Correct answer: (A) Rs 80000 — Each daughter receives Rs 80000, so the answer is Rs 80000.
Explanation
★Each daughter receives Rs 80000, so the answer is Rs 80000.
★Let each nephew receive x, so each son receives 5x and each daughter receives 4x.
★The total is 5 sons times 5x plus 4 daughters times 4x plus 2 nephews times x.
★So the total is 25x plus 16x plus 2x, which is 43x.
★This equals 860000, so x is 20000.
★Each daughter receives 4 times x, which is 4 times 20000.
★That is Rs 80000.
