You can put this solution on YOUR website! A man with monthly income Rs. 363 spends as much in 4 months,as he earns in 3 months.After 12 years he divides his savings amongst 3 sons,giving the eldest twice as much as the second and three times as much as third.How much does the youngest son receive?
Total savings = 3*12*363 = 13,068
Let x = the money in RS the youngest son receives
x + 3x/2 + 3x = 13,068
11x/2 = 13,068
x = 2,376
The youngest son receives Rs. 2,376.
