The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the information given and use it to find out how much money Mukesh has. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - Pankaj's money = \( P \) - Soham's money = \( S \) - Mukesh's money = \( M \) From the problem, we know: 1. Mukesh has twice as much money as Soham: \[ M = 2S \] 2. Soham has 50% more money than Pankaj: \[ S = P + 0.5P = 1.5P \] ### Step 2: Express all amounts in terms of Pankaj's money From the second equation, we can express Soham's money in terms of Pankaj's money: \[ S = 1.5P \] Now substituting \( S \) in the equation for Mukesh: \[ M = 2S = 2(1.5P) = 3P \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total money Now we have all the amounts expressed in terms of \( P \): - Pankaj's money = \( P \) - Soham's money = \( 1.5P \) - Mukesh's money = \( 3P \) The total money with Mukesh, Soham, and Pankaj is: \[ \text{Total} = M + S + P = 3P + 1.5P + P = 5.5P \] ### Step 4: Find the average money The average money with them is given as Rs. 110. Since there are 3 people, we can set up the equation: \[ \frac{5.5P}{3} = 110 \] ### Step 5: Solve for P To find \( P \), we multiply both sides by 3: \[ 5.5P = 330 \] Now, divide by 5.5: \[ P = \frac{330}{5.5} = 60 \] ### Step 6: Calculate Mukesh's money Now that we have \( P \), we can find Mukesh's money: \[ M = 3P = 3 \times 60 = 180 \] ### Final Answer Mukesh has Rs. 180. ---
