₹5,398 is divided among X, Y, and Z in
₹5,398 is divided among X, Y, and Z in such a way that if ₹16, ₹15, and ₹75 be deducted from their respective shares, they have money in the ratio 2 : 21 : 4. Find the difference between the Y’s and Z’s original shares.
₹5,398 को X, Y और Z के बीच इस प्रकार बाँटा जाता है कि यदि उनके हिस्सों में से क्रमशः ₹16, ₹15 और ₹75 की कटौती कर दी जाए, तो उनके पास 2 : 21 : 4 के अनुपात में धनराशि बचती हैं। Y और Z के मूल हिस्सों में अंतर ज्ञात कीजिए।
Detailed Solution & Logic
₹3,272
Step 1: Let the original shares be
Let X = $x$, Y = $y$, Z = $z$.
After deductions:
-
X’s remaining = $x - 16$
-
Y’s remaining = $y - 15$
-
Z’s remaining = $z - 75$
Given ratio:
$ x - 16 : y - 15 : z - 75 = 2 : 21 : 4 $
So we can write:
$ x - 16 = 2k, \quad y - 15 = 21k, \quad z - 75 = 4k $
where $k$ is a common factor.
Step 2: Express original shares in terms of $k$
$ x = 2k + 16, \quad y = 21k + 15, \quad z = 4k + 75 $
Step 3: Use total sum of shares
$ x + y + z = 5398 $
Substitute the expressions:
$ (2k + 16) + (21k + 15) + (4k + 75) = 5398 $
$ 27k + 106 = 5398 $
$ 27k = 5398 - 106 = 5292 $
$ k = \frac{5292}{27} = 196 $
Step 4: Find original shares
$ x = 2k + 16 = 2(196) + 16 = 408 $
$ y = 21k + 15 = 21(196) + 15 = 4131 $
$ z = 4k + 75 = 4(196) + 75 = 859 $
Step 5: Find difference between Y and Z
y - z = 4131 - 859 = 3272
The difference between Y’s and Z’s original shares is ₹3,272.
