The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing Rs. 1104 among 3 men, 4 women, and 6 boys in the ratio of their shares (3:2:1), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the shares Let the share of a man be represented as \(3k\), the share of a woman as \(2k\), and the share of a boy as \(k\). ### Step 2: Calculate total shares Now, we need to calculate the total shares contributed by all the men, women, and boys: - Total share from 3 men = \(3 \times 3k = 9k\) - Total share from 4 women = \(4 \times 2k = 8k\) - Total share from 6 boys = \(6 \times k = 6k\) Now, we can add these shares together: \[ \text{Total shares} = 9k + 8k + 6k = 23k \] ### Step 3: Set up the equation Since the total amount of money to be divided is Rs. 1104, we can set up the equation: \[ 23k = 1104 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(k\) To find the value of \(k\), we divide both sides of the equation by 23: \[ k = \frac{1104}{23} \] Calculating this gives: \[ k = 48 \] ### Step 5: Find the share of each boy Since the share of one boy is \(k\), we have: \[ \text{Share of one boy} = k = 48 \] Thus, each boy gets Rs. 48. ### Final Answer: Each boy gets Rs. 48. ---
