When an amount is distributed amongst 14 girls, each of them gets Rs.160 more than the amount received by each girl in that condition when the same amount is distributed equally amongst 18 girls. Find the amount.
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let the amount = x
According to the question,
\( \Large \frac{x}{14}-\frac{x}{18}=160 \)
=>\( \Large \frac{9x-7x}{126}=160 => \frac{2x}{126}=160 \)
=> \( \Large \frac{x}{126}=80 \)
Therefore, \( \Large x=126 \times 80 = Rs.10080 \)
