A bonus of ₹ 1000 is to be divided among three people so that Rohit receives twice as much as Sachin, who receives one-fifth as much as Gagan. How much money should Gagan receive?
(a) ₹ 100
(b) ₹ 250
(c) ₹ 375
(d) ₹ 625
Answer Explanation Let Gagan's share $=₹ x$. Then, Sachin's share $=₹\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)$ and Rohit's share $=₹\left(\frac{2 x}{5}\right)$. $$\therefore \quad \frac{2 x}{5}+\frac{x}{5}+x=1000 \Leftrightarrow 8 x=5000 \Leftrightarrow x=625 .$$
