a) ₹\;2000,\;₹\;4000\;\&\;₹\;3000
b) ₹\;1000,\;₹\;5000\;\&\;₹\;3000
c) ₹\;2500,\;₹\;3500\;\&\;₹\;3000
d) ₹\;1000,\;₹\;4500\;\&\;₹\;3500
correct answer is: a) ₹\;2000,\;₹\;4000\;\&\;₹\;3000
Explanation
Let,
First friend gets ₹ x.
\therefore Second friend gets ₹ \left(2\times x\right) or ₹ 2x.
And, third friend gets ₹ \large\left(\frac{x+2x}{2}\right) or ₹ \large\frac{3x}{2}.
According to the question,
₹ \left(x+2x+\large\frac{3x}{2}\right)\normalsize=₹ 9000
\rightarrow\large\left(\frac{2x+4x+3x}{2}\right)\normalsize=9000
\rightarrow\large\frac{9x}{2}\normalsize=9000
\rightarrow 9x=\left(9000\times2\right) [cross multiply]
\rightarrow x=\large\left(\frac{9000\times2}{9}\right)
\rightarrow x=2000
So that,
First friend gets ₹ 2000.
Second friend get ₹ 2x or ₹ \left(2\times2000\right)=₹ 4000.
And, third friend gets ₹ \large\frac{3x}{2} or, ₹ \large\left(\frac{3\times2000}{2}\right)\normalsize=₹ 3000.
Ans: First friend will get ₹ 2000, Second friend will gets ₹ 4000 and third friend will gets ₹ 3000.
