Ratio and Proportion
Arif, Hafiz, and Haider share Rs. 2560. Hafiz's share is four times as much as Arif's, and Arif's share is one-third of Haider's. How much is Arif's share?
Explanation and memory cue
Let Arif's share be x. Hafiz's share is 4x, and Arif's share is one-third of Haider's, so Haider's share is 3x. Total shares: x + 4x + 3x = 8x = 2560, so x = 2560/8 = 320. Therefore, Arif's share is Rs. 320.
