Let $\"+x+\"$ = amount Gagan should receive
\n" ); document.write( "Sachin receives $\"+x%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Rohit receives $\"+%28+2x+%29%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+x%2F5+%2B+%282x%29%2F5+=+1000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+%2B+x+%2B+2x+=+5000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8x+=+5000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+625+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Gagan should receive rs 625
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+625+%2B+625%2F5+%2B+%282%2A625%29%2F5+=+1000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+625+%2B+125+%2B+250+=+1000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1000+=+1000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
