Solution : Given: A sum of INR 1,250 has to be distributed among A, B, C, and D. B + D = $\frac{14}{11}$(A + C) D = $\frac{1}{2}$A and C = 1.2A = $\frac{12}{10}$A = $\frac{6}{5}$A B + D = $\frac{14}{11}$(A + C) ⇒ 11B + $\frac{11}{2}$A = 14(A + $\frac{6}{5}$A) ⇒ 11B + $\frac{11}{2}$A = 14 × $\frac{11}{5}$A ⇒ 11B = $\frac{154}{5}$A – $\frac{11}{2}$A ⇒ 11B = $\frac{308–55}{10}$A ⇒ 11B = $\frac{253}{10}$A ⇒ B = $\frac{23}{10}$A According to the question, A + B + C + D = 1250 ⇒ A + $\frac{23}{10}$A + $\frac{6}{5}$A + $\frac{1}{2}$A = 1250 ⇒ $\frac{20+46+24+10}{20}$A = 1250 ⇒ $\frac{100}{20}$A = 1250 ⇒ 5A = 1250 ⇒ A = INR 250 The values of B, C, and D are given as, B = $\frac{23\times 250}{10}$ = INR 575 C = $\frac{6\times 250}{5}$ = INR 300 D = $\frac{250}{2}$ = INR 125 Hence, the correct answer is INR 250, INR 575, INR 300, INR 125.
