Options:

08

10

12

15

Correct Answer:

12

Explanation:

                       man             woman            child

Total amount      12        :        15        :        16    ⇒ 43R' = 430 ⇒ 1R' = 10

Each Amount       6        :         5         :         4       

------------------------------------------------------------------

No.                   \(\frac{12}{6}\)       :        \(\frac{15}{5}\)        :        \(\frac{16}{4}\)

                        =  2         :          3        :         4       ⇒9 R =45 

                                                                               ⇒1R =5                   

⇒ Total amount received by all Men = 12× 10 = 120

⇒ Total no. of man = 2 × 5 = 10

Therefore,

Amount received by each man = \(\frac{120}{10}\) = Rs. 12
