The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote the amounts received by A, B, and C as follows: - Let the amount received by B be \( b \). - Since A gets twice as much as B, the amount received by A will be \( a = 2b \). - The amount received by C will be denoted as \( c \). ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the information given. From the problem, we know: 1. B and C together get Rs. 100: \[ b + c = 100 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. C and A together get Rs. 150: \[ c + a = 150 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 2: Substitute A in terms of B into Equation 2. Since \( a = 2b \), we can substitute this into Equation 2: \[ c + 2b = 150 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the equations. Now we have two equations: 1. \( b + c = 100 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( c + 2b = 150 \) (Equation 3) Let's subtract Equation 1 from Equation 3: \[ (c + 2b) - (b + c) = 150 - 100 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2b - b = 50 \] \[ b = 50 \] ### Step 4: Find the value of A. Now that we have \( b \), we can find \( a \): \[ a = 2b = 2 \times 50 = 100 \] ### Step 5: Find the value of C. Now we can substitute \( b \) back into Equation 1 to find \( c \): \[ b + c = 100 \] \[ 50 + c = 100 \] \[ c = 100 - 50 = 50 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the total amount. Now we have: - \( a = 100 \) - \( b = 50 \) - \( c = 50 \) The total amount of money divided among A, B, and C is: \[ a + b + c = 100 + 50 + 50 = 200 \] ### Final Answer: The total amount of money divided between A, B, and C is Rs. 200. ---
