Question 105

Mani, Mita, Lata and John bought a motorbike for $60.00. Mani paid one half of the sum of the amounts paidby the other boys: 'Mita paid onethird of the sum of the amounts paid by the other boys; and Lata paid onefourth of the sum of the amounts paid by the other boys. How much did John have to pay?

Let's take the amount paid by Mani, Mita, Lata and John to be a, b, c and d, respectively. 

we know that a+b+c+d=60  ...(1)

We are given that a = (b+c+d)/2 
Replacing this in (1) we get 3a=60, giving $$a$$ equals 20

b+c+d=40     ...(2)

Next, we are given that b = (a+c+d)/3
a+c+d = 3b
c+d = 3b-20
Substituting this in (2), we get:

4b-20=40
b=15

Giving c+d = 25 ....(3)

Finally we are given that c=(a+b+d)/4
20+15+d=4c
d=4c-35

Substituting this in (3), we get:
5c-35=25
5c=60
c=12

Giving d=13

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
