Solution(By Apex Team)
A+B+C+D=60 ———– (1) Now According to Question,
A= 1/2 (B+C+D)
2A = B+C+D
Put the value of B+C+D in Equation (1)
A+2A =60 3A=60 A=20
Now again according to Question B=1/3 (A+C+D) A+C+D= 3B
By Putting the Value of A+C+D in Equation (1)
we get,
B+3B= 60 4B=60 B=15
Now again according to Question C= 1/4 (A+B+D) A+B+D = 4C
By Putting the Value of A+B+D in equation (1)
We get C+4C = 60 5C= 60 C=12 Since A+B+C+D= 60
20+15+12+D=60
D=60-47=13
Amount of D = Rs. 13
