An old man distributed his estate worth x dollars to his three sons Allen, Tommy, and Peter. Whoreceived the smallest part of the estate?
(1)Allen got 4/5 of what Tommy got and 3/5 of what Peter got.
(2)Peter got 5/4 of what Tommy got and Tommy got 100 dollars more than what Allen got.

• Allen got smallest part of estate
  as it is clear from Ist statement that
  he got 4/5 of what Tommy got and 3/5 of what Peter got.
  From second statement also, it is clear that
  Tommy got more than allen and Peter got more than Tommy.
  
  So each statement alone is sufficient to conclude that Allem got smallest part of estate.

• sol:alen
  ALEN A=4/5(TOMMY)=3/5(PETER)
  SOLVING THIS......TOMMY:ALEN:PETER=15:12:20
  CLEAELY ALEN IS LEAST
  
  
  2)P=5/4(T)
  SO TOMMY IS LESS THAN PETER........(1)
  TOMMY GOT 100 MORE THAN ALEN....SO
  ALEN IS LESS THAN TOMMY............(2)
  CLEARLY.......ALEN IS LEAST FROM(1)(2)
