if rs. 516 are divided among suresh, mohan, shyam, so that suresh receives 25% more than mohan and mohan receives 25% less than shyam, then shyam's share is

• let's take suresh's share = X, mohan's share = Y, shyam's share = Z
  As given statement in the problem,
  X = 1.25 Y = (5/4) Y
  Y = 0.75 Z = (3/4) Z
  we know that,
  X + Y + Z = 516
  (5/4) Y + (3/4) Z + Z = 516
  (5/4) (3/4) Z + (3/4) Z + Z = 516
  (15/16) Z + (3/4) Z + Z = 516
  Z[(15/16) + (3/4) + 1] = 516
  Z [(15+12+16)/16] = 516
  Z (43/16) = 516
  Z = 516 * 16/43 = 192
  so, Shyam's share is Rs. 192

• Suppose, shyam receives x rupees
  then suresh receives 1.25x rupees
  and mohan receives 0.75x rupees
  
  So, total money received by all= 3x= 516 rs
  Therefore x=516/3= 172 rs(shyam's share)
