Solutions
Given:
Total amount=1320 rupees
There are 7 men, 11 women and 5 boys.
Calculation:
Let share of each man, woman and boy be x, y and z respectively.
Total share of 7 men, 11 women and 5 boys=7x + 11y + 5z = 1320 rupees ---------(1.)
It is given that share of a woman is 3 times that of a boy, i.e. y = 3z ---------(2.)
It is given that a man receives a sum equal to the share of a woman and a boy i.e. x = y + z ---------(3.)
Putting equation 2 in equation 3, we get,
x = 3z + z = 4z ---------(4.)
Putting equation 4 and equation 2 in equation 1, we get,
7 × 4z + 11 × 3z + 5z = 1320
28z + 33z + 5z = 1320
66z = 1320
z = 20
Putting value of z in equation 4, we get value of x,
x = 4z = 4 × 20 = 80
Putting value of z in equation 2, we get value of y,
y = 3z = 3 × 20 = 60
The shares of each man, woman and boy are 80, 60 and 20 respectively.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
