A sum of Rs.26,550 is divided among 3 men, 2 women and 6 girls in such a way that each man, each women and each girl git money in the ratio 2 : 3 : 1. How much money does each man get (in Rs.)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 2,950.
Let all 3 men get 6x money, 2 women get 6x money and 6 girls get 6x money.
Now, 6x + 6x + 6x = 26550
⇒ x = 1475
Money recieved by 3 men = 6 × 1475
⇒ 8850
Money recieved by 1 man = 8850/3 = 2950
