The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine how many coins each son received from Mr. Shrimat and specifically find out how many coins Parat received. ### Step 1: Set up the equation based on the given ratios and losses Let the amounts of gold coins received by Bharat, Parat, and Marat be represented as: - Bharat: \( B \) - Parat: \( P \) - Marat: \( M \) According to the problem, the ratio of the coins after their respective actions is given as: - Bharat sells 30 coins: \( B - 30 \) - Parat donates 30 coins: \( P - 30 \) - Marat loses 25 coins: \( M - 25 \) The new ratio is: \[ B - 30 : P - 30 : M - 25 = 46 : 41 : 34 \] ### Step 2: Express the amounts in terms of a variable We can express the amounts in terms of a common variable \( k \): \[ B - 30 = 46k \\ P - 30 = 41k \\ M - 25 = 34k \] ### Step 3: Rewrite the equations for \( B \), \( P \), and \( M \) From the above equations, we can express \( B \), \( P \), and \( M \) as: \[ B = 46k + 30 \\ P = 41k + 30 \\ M = 34k + 25 \] ### Step 4: Set up the total coins equation According to the problem, the total number of coins is 2505: \[ B + P + M = 2505 \] Substituting the expressions for \( B \), \( P \), and \( M \): \[ (46k + 30) + (41k + 30) + (34k + 25) = 2505 \] ### Step 5: Combine like terms Combining the terms gives us: \[ 46k + 41k + 34k + 30 + 30 + 25 = 2505 \\ 121k + 85 = 2505 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( k \) Now, isolate \( k \): \[ 121k = 2505 - 85 \\ 121k = 2420 \\ k = \frac{2420}{121} \\ k = 20 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the amounts for each son Now that we have \( k \), we can find the amounts for each son: - Bharat: \[ B = 46k + 30 = 46(20) + 30 = 920 + 30 = 950 \] - Parat: \[ P = 41k + 30 = 41(20) + 30 = 820 + 30 = 850 \] - Marat: \[ M = 34k + 25 = 34(20) + 25 = 680 + 25 = 705 \] ### Step 8: Conclusion Thus, the number of coins Parat received from his father is: \[ \boxed{850} \]
