A certain amount of money was divided among Pinu, Meena, Rinu and Seema. Pinu received $20\%$ of the total amount and Meena received $40\%$ of the remaining amount. If Seema received $20\%$ less than

Accepted Answer

Let the total amount be $100$ units.

Pinu receives $20$ units. The remaining amount is $80$ units.

Meena receives $40\% 	imes 80 = 32$ units. So, Rinu and Seema together receive $48$ units.

Seema receives $20\%$ less than Pinu, i.e. $16$ units.

Therefore, Rinu receives $48 - 16 = 32$ units.
