    A property dealer leaves 12900 sq yards area to be divided among his 5 brothers, 4 daughters and 2 sisters. If each daughter receives 4 times as much as each sister and each brother gets 5 times as much as each sister, then how much did each daughter get?                                    

    A)  200 sq yards                

    B)  300 sq yards 

    C)  320 sq yards                

    D)  Data inadequate

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      Area received by each sister = x sq yards Area received by each brother = 5x sq yards and area received by each daughter = 4x sq yards By given condition, \[5\times 5x+4\times 4x+2x=12900\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[25x+16x+2x=12900\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[43x=12900\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=300\]sq yards
