The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define variables for the amounts of money that A, B, and C have. Let's denote: - A = amount of money A has - B = amount of money B has - C = amount of money C has ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the problem statement 1. According to the first condition, A and B together have three times what B and C have: \[ A + B = 3(B + C) \] 2. The second condition states that A, B, and C together have thirty rupees more than A: \[ A + B + C = A + 30 \] 3. The third condition tells us that B has five times what C has: \[ B = 5C \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equations From the first equation: \[ A + B = 3B + 3C \] Rearranging gives: \[ A = 3B + 3C - B \] \[ A = 2B + 3C \] From the second equation: \[ A + B + C = A + 30 \] Subtracting A from both sides gives: \[ B + C = 30 \] ### Step 3: Substitute B in terms of C Using the third equation \(B = 5C\), we can substitute B in the equation \(B + C = 30\): \[ 5C + C = 30 \] \[ 6C = 30 \] Dividing both sides by 6 gives: \[ C = 5 \] ### Step 4: Find B using C Now that we have C, we can find B: \[ B = 5C = 5 \times 5 = 25 \] ### Step 5: Find A using B and C Now we can substitute B and C back into the equation for A: \[ A = 2B + 3C \] Substituting the values of B and C: \[ A = 2(25) + 3(5) \] Calculating gives: \[ A = 50 + 15 = 65 \] ### Final Answer Thus, A has **65 rupees**. ---
