Ravi has one and a half times as many as Raj, and Raj has one and a half times as many as Rakesh. Altogether they have ₹76,000. How much Raj has?
Answer: C
Raj has ₹24,000.
Let Rakesh have x. Then Raj has 1.5x and Ravi has 1.5 × 1.5x = 2.25x. Together:
\[ \begin{aligned} x + 1.5x + 2.25x &= 4.75x = 76000 \\ x &= 16000 \end{aligned} \]
So Rakesh has ₹16,000, Raj ₹24,000 and Ravi ₹36,000. The options ₹16,000 and ₹36,000 are the other two people's amounts, which is the trap; ₹12,000 matches nobody.
