Joseph gifted Rs. 20000 to his wife and some money to his three children aged 12,14 and 16 years in the ratio of their ages. If he gave Rs. 3000 to his youngest child, then how much money he gifted to his family?

Solution

Correct Option: 4

Ratio of ages 12 : 14 : 16 = 6 : 7 : 8. Youngest child (age 12) receives 6 parts = Rs. 3000, so 1 part = Rs. 500.

Total to children = (6 + 7 + 8) ×\times 500 = Rs. 10500. Grand total = 20000 + 10500 = Rs. 30500.
