Out of a sum of money, rakhi gives john one-third, john gives mallika one-third of what he has, and
mallika gives rakhi one third of what she has. If John has received 36 rupees from Rakhi, how much
money Rakhi has now (in rupees)?
1] 21 2] 76 3] 81 4] 36

• let the sum of money =x
  rakhi give one third to john =x/3 and reamining sum =2x/3
  john gives one third to malika = 1/3*x/3 =x/9
  malika gives one third of her to rakhi = 1/3*x/9 =x/27
  So john received 36 Rs from rakhi
  x/3=36
  x=108
  total money rakhi has in hand = remaining sum + one third money given by malik a
  2x/3+ x/27
  2*108/3 + 108/27
