    Solution

    ATQ, Let the total fruits divided by 70a fruits received by Amit and Chinu together = 70a×(5/7) = 50a And fruits received by Bishnu = 70a×(2/7) = 20a Let the fruits received by Amit = 10k and fruits received by Chinu will be 150% of 10k = (150/100)×10k = 15k fruits received by Amit and Chinu together = 10k + 15k = 25k Since 50a = 25k 2a = k Fruits received by Amit = 10k = 10×2a = 20a Fruits received by Chinu =15k = 1500 k =100 2a = 100 a = 100/2 = 50 Therefore, the sum of Fruits received by Amit and Bishnu = 20a+20a = 40a = 40×50 = Rs.2000
