Problem Solving The correct answer is C. Let the initial amount with John be P $ Amount with John after giving to the first son= 2/3 P Amount with John after giving to the second son= 3/4×2/3 P Amount with John after giving to his wife= 4/5×3/4×2/3 P Given that 4/5×3/4×2/3 P=5000 ⇒2/5×P=5000 Thus the initial amount P = 12,500$ Click here for the next week's Punch |
