Answer»

Let share of men's, women's and children's are 12s, 15s, 16s

Then 12s + 15s + 16s = 86043s = 860s = 20

Thus share of men's, women's and children's are 240, 300 and 320 respectively

Ratio of men, women and children = 12/6:15/5:16/4= 2:3:4

Let no. Of men, women and children are2n, 3n, 4n2n + 3n + 4n = 459n = 45n = 5Number of men, women and children are10, 15, 20

Share of man = 240/10 = 24Share of woman = 300/15 = 20Share of child = 320/20 = 16
