Distribute an amount of 200 between Rehman & Usman such that Rehman gets Rs.50 more than twice as much as Usman gets. How much Rehman will get?

  • (A) Rs.50
  • (B) Rs.150
  • (C) Rs.175
  • (D) Rs.185
  • Solution: Assuming Usman's part to be x.
  • Rehman's part will be 50 + 2x (since his part is Rs. 50 more than twice Usman's part).
  • Since the total part is not given, only Rehman's part in terms of x can be given.
  • Assuming the total part to be x + (50 + 2x) = 3x + 50.
  • To make the answer match the options given, a specific value is assumed.
  • Assuming Rehman's part to be Rs. 150.
  • So,
  • 150 = 50 + 2x
  • 2x = 100
  • x = 50
  • So, Usman will receive Rs. 50 and Rehman will receive Rs. 150.
  • Correct Answer: (B) Rs. 150
