Krishna gave 1/9 of his savings to his son, 3/4 of the remaining to his first daughter, and the rest to his second daughter. If the first daughter received Rs.880 more than the second one, how much did the son get?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1. i.e. Rs.220.
Let the total savings be Rs.x
Krishna gets = x/9
First daughter gets = (x - x/9)(3/4) = 2x/3
Second daughter gets = x - (x/9 + 2x/3) = 2x/9
According to the question;
Money received by first daughter = 880 + 2x/9
⇒ 2x/3 = 880 + 2x/9
⇒ 2x/3 - 2x/9= 880
⇒ 4x/9 = 880
⇒ x = 1980
Money received by son = x/9 = 1980/9 = Rs.220
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
