The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the variables and set up the equations based on the information given in the question. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - A = amount A has - B = amount B has - C = amount C has ### Step 2: Set Up the First Equation According to the problem, A and B together have three times what B and C have. This can be expressed as: \[ A + B = 3(B + C) \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Second Equation It is also given that A, B, and C together have thirty rupees more than A. This can be expressed as: \[ A + B + C = A + 30 \] From this, we can simplify to: \[ B + C = 30 \] (Equation 1) ### Step 4: Set Up the Third Equation We are told that B has 5 times what C has. This can be expressed as: \[ B = 5C \] (Equation 2) ### Step 5: Substitute Equation 2 into Equation 1 Now, we can substitute Equation 2 into Equation 1: \[ 5C + C = 30 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6C = 30 \] Thus, we find: \[ C = 5 \] ### Step 6: Find B using C Now that we have C, we can find B using Equation 2: \[ B = 5C = 5 \times 5 = 25 \] ### Step 7: Substitute B and C into the First Equation Now, we can substitute the values of B and C back into the first equation to find A: \[ A + B = 3(B + C) \] Substituting B and C: \[ A + 25 = 3(25 + 5) \] \[ A + 25 = 3 \times 30 \] \[ A + 25 = 90 \] ### Step 8: Solve for A Now, we solve for A: \[ A = 90 - 25 \] \[ A = 65 \] ### Final Answer Thus, A has **65 rupees**. ---
