A total amount of ₹2,95,000 is to be distributed between Vineet, Prateek, and Mayank in such a way that Vineet gets half of the amount that Mayank gets and Prateek gets ₹25,000 less than Vineet. How much amount will Vineet get?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹80,000.
Let Mayank gets Rs. 2x
Vineet gets Rs. x
Prateek gets = x - 25000
According to the question;
2x + x + x - 25000 = 295000
4x = 295000 + 25000
4x = 320000
⇒ x = 80000
