a person with a monthly income Rs.1056 spends as much in 4 months as he earns in three. after 12 years he divides his savings among his three children in such a manner that the eldest has twice as much as the second & thrice as much as the youngest. how much did each receive?
--------------
3 mth earnings:: 3*1056::: In 12 years that would be 12*4*3*1056 = 152064
------------------------------
4 mth spendings:: 3*1045:: In 12 years that would be 12*3*3*1056 = 114048
---
12-year surplus = 38016
-----
yougest = x
oldest = 3x
second = 1.5x
--------
Equation:
x + 3x + 1.5x = 5.5x = 38016
x = 6912
1.5x = 10368
3x = 20736
