Question 71

₹ 10,000/- has to be distributed among 3 craftsmen, 5 helpers and 6 labourers such that each helper receives the amount twice as much as a labourer receives and each craftsman receives the amount thrice as muchas a labourerreceives. What is the amount received by the three craftsmen?

Solution

Let the labour recieves = Rs x

So, helper recieves = Rs 2x

And craftsmen recieves = Rs 3x

Ratio of 6 Labour : 5 Helper : 3 Craftsmen = 6 : 10 : 9

Amount recieves by 3 craftsmen = $$10000\times\frac{9}{25}$$=Rs 3600
