Mayank, Mirza, Little and Jaspal bought a motorbike for $60. Mayank paid one-half of the sum of the amounts paid by the other boys. Mirza paid one-third of the sum of the amounts paid by the other boys. Little paid one-fourth of the sum of the amounts paid by the other boys. How much did Jaspal have to pay?

Shivankan Gupta · Answer

Assume Mayank, Mirza, Little and Jaspal paid a,b,c and d amounts respectively.Now, a=(b+c+d)/2, b=(a+c+d)/3, c=(a+b+d)/4b+c+d=2a =>3a=60 =>a=20similarly, 4b=60 =>b=155c=60 => c=12.d=60-(a+b+c)=13.
