a sum 's' is devided into 4 parts.second person gets Rs 10
more than first.3rd person is Rs 10 more than second, 4th
is 10 more than 3rd. how much amount do 1st person get.

Answer Posted / rushiraj

Let assume 1 get x amount, so 2 gets 10+x, 3 gets 10+10+x
and 4 gets 10+10+10+x
so,
S=x+10+x+10+10+x+10+10+10+x
S=4x+60
S-60=4x
S/4-60/4=x
S/4-15=x
Let we Assume S=100
100/4-15=x
25-15=x
So, x=10
So, 1 gets 10,2 gets(10+x)=20,3 gets 30,4 gets 40
So, S=10+20+30+40
S=100
