1. Answer:

   Rs. 48 in 12, 16 and 20

   Rs. 12 in 3, 4 and 5

   Rs. 36 in 9, 12 and 15

   Rs. 24 in 6, 8 and 10

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Well, taking any general case, if a given sum of money and the ratio in which it is to be divided, we assume each part to be that times x.

   In other words, as in this question, let the original sum be divided as 3x, 4x and 5x parts .

   now, total sum of parts =total money. So,

   [tex]3x + 4x + 5x = 12x= total \: amount \\ = > x = \frac{total \: amount \: of \: money}{12} [/tex]

   and then each part is equal to that times x, ie. each part are equal to 3x, 4x, 5x

   [tex](1) \: x = \frac{total \: money}{12} = \frac{48}{12} = 4\\ (2) \: x = \frac{total \: money}{12} = \frac{12}{12} = 1 \\ (3) \: x = \frac{total \: money}{12} = \frac{36}{12} = 3 \\ (4) \: x = \frac{total \: money}{12} = \frac{24}{12} = 2[/tex]

   therefore the parts are

   [tex](1)3x = 3 \times4 = 12\\ 4x = 4 \times 4= 16 \\ 5x = 5 \times 4= 20 \\ (2)3x = 3 \times 1 = 3\\ 4x = 4 \times 1 = 4\\ 5x = 5 \times 1 = 5 \\ (3)3x = 3 \times3 = 9\\ 4x = 4 \times3 = 12\\ 5x = 5 \times 3 = 15 \\ (4)3x = 3 \times 2= 6\\ 4x = 4 \times 2 = 8\\ 5x = 5 \times 2= 10\\ [/tex]

2. Answer:

   Hope this helps

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Rs 48

   3+4+5= 12

   48/12= 4

   4*3= Rs 12

   4*4= Rs 16

   4*5= Rs 20

   20 +16+ 12= Rs48

   Rs 12

   3+4+5 =12

   12/12= 1

   3*1= Rs 3

   4*1= Rs 4

   5*1= Rs 5

   5+4+3= Rs 12

   Rs36

   3+4+5 = 12

   36/12 = 3

   3*3= Rs 9

   3*4 = Rs 12

   3*5 = Rs 15

   9+12+15 = Rs 36

   Rs 24

   3+4=5 = 12

   24/12 = Rs 2

   3*2= Rs 6

   4*2= Rs 8

   5*2 = Rs 10
