The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to set up equations based on the information given about the shares of Kailash, Raj, and Pushap. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( K \) = share of Kailash - \( R \) = share of Raj - \( P \) = share of Pushap ### Step 2: Set Up Equations From the problem, we have the following relationships: 1. Kailash receives half as much as Raj and Pushap together: \[ K = \frac{1}{2}(R + P) \] 2. Raj receives one fourth of what Kailash and Pushap together receive: \[ R = \frac{1}{4}(K + P) \] ### Step 3: Express \( K \) and \( R \) in Terms of \( P \) From the first equation, we can express \( K \): \[ K = \frac{1}{2}(R + P) \quad \text{(1)} \] From the second equation, we can express \( R \): \[ R = \frac{1}{4}(K + P) \quad \text{(2)} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Equation (1) into Equation (2) Substituting \( K \) from equation (1) into equation (2): \[ R = \frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}(R + P) + P\right) \] Simplifying: \[ R = \frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}R + \frac{1}{2}P + P\right) \] \[ R = \frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}R + \frac{3}{2}P\right) \] Multiplying through by 4: \[ 4R = \frac{1}{2}R + 3P \] Rearranging: \[ 4R - \frac{1}{2}R = 3P \] \[ \frac{8R - R}{2} = 3P \] \[ \frac{7R}{2} = 3P \] Thus, \[ R = \frac{6P}{7} \quad \text{(3)} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( R \) from Equation (3) into Equation (1) Now substituting \( R \) from equation (3) back into equation (1): \[ K = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{6P}{7} + P\right) \] Converting \( P \) to a fraction: \[ K = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{6P}{7} + \frac{7P}{7}\right) \] \[ K = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{13P}{7}\right) \] \[ K = \frac{13P}{14} \quad \text{(4)} \] ### Step 6: Total Amount Equation The total amount distributed among Kailash, Raj, and Pushap is Rs. 5625: \[ K + R + P = 5625 \] Substituting equations (3) and (4): \[ \frac{13P}{14} + \frac{6P}{7} + P = 5625 \] Finding a common denominator (which is 14): \[ \frac{13P}{14} + \frac{12P}{14} + \frac{14P}{14} = 5625 \] Combining the fractions: \[ \frac{39P}{14} = 5625 \] Multiplying both sides by 14: \[ 39P = 5625 \times 14 \] Calculating: \[ 39P = 78750 \] Dividing by 39: \[ P = \frac{78750}{39} = 2019.23 \quad \text{(approximately)} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( R \) and \( K \) Using \( P \) to find \( R \) and \( K \): \[ R = \frac{6 \times 2019.23}{7} \approx 1732.24 \] \[ K = \frac{13 \times 2019.23}{14} \approx 1843.23 \] ### Step 8: Find the Difference Between \( K \) and \( R \) Now, we find the difference between Kailash's and Raj's shares: \[ K - R = 1843.23 - 1732.24 \approx 110.99 \] ### Final Answer The share of Kailash is more than that of Raj by approximately Rs. 111.
