Given: Each helper receives the amount twice as much as a laborer receives and each craftsman received the amount thrice as much as a laborer receives. |
Ratio of amount received by 5 helpers & 6 laborers = 2 × 5 : 1 × 6 = 5 : 3 Ratio of amount received by 3 craftsmen & 6 laborers = 3 × 3 : 1 × 6 = 3 : 2 Ratio of amount received by 5 helpers, 6 laborers and 3 craftsmen = 10 : 6 : 9 Hence, Amount received by 3 craftsmen = 10000 × 9/25 = Rs.3600 |
