The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the shares of X, Y, and Z based on the conditions provided. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - The amount received by Z be \( z \). - The amount received by Y be \( y \). - The amount received by X be \( x \). ### Step 2: Set up the equations based on the problem statement According to the problem: 1. \( x = y + 52 \) (X gets ₹52 more than Y) 2. \( y = z + 26 \) (Y gets ₹26 more than Z) 3. The total amount is \( x + y + z = 221 \). ### Step 3: Substitute the values From the second equation, we can express \( z \) in terms of \( y \): \[ z = y - 26 \] Now, substitute \( z \) in the total amount equation: \[ x + y + (y - 26) = 221 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( x \) in the total amount equation Now, substitute \( x \) from the first equation: \[ (y + 52) + y + (y - 26) = 221 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation Combine like terms: \[ 3y + 26 = 221 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( y \) Subtract 26 from both sides: \[ 3y = 221 - 26 \] \[ 3y = 195 \] Now, divide by 3: \[ y = \frac{195}{3} = 65 \] ### Step 7: Find \( x \) and \( z \) Now that we have \( y \): - To find \( x \): \[ x = y + 52 = 65 + 52 = 117 \] - To find \( z \): \[ z = y - 26 = 65 - 26 = 39 \] ### Step 8: Write the shares of X, Y, and Z Now we have: - \( x = 117 \) - \( y = 65 \) - \( z = 39 \) ### Step 9: Find the ratio of X, Y, and Z The ratio of the shares of X, Y, and Z is: \[ x : y : z = 117 : 65 : 39 \] ### Step 10: Simplify the ratio To simplify the ratio, we can divide each term by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 117, 65, and 39 is 13. - \( \frac{117}{13} = 9 \) - \( \frac{65}{13} = 5 \) - \( \frac{39}{13} = 3 \) Thus, the simplified ratio is: \[ 9 : 5 : 3 \] ### Final Answer The ratio of the shares of X, Y, and Z is \( 9 : 5 : 3 \). ---

To solve the problem, we need to find the shares of X, Y, and Z based on the conditions provided. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - The amount received by Z be \( z \). - The amount received by Y be \( y \). - The amount received by X be \( x \). ...
