Correct Answer - Option 1 : 250 gram; 750 gram; 400 gram and 100 gram

Given:

Alloy weight = 1500 gram

Calculation:

Let the copper and brass be 15x and 8x respectively

Tin  = 25 % of 8x

= 2x

Gold = 2.5 (25 % of 8x)

= 2.5 × (25/100) × 8x

= 5x

According to question:

⇒ gold + copper + brass + tin = 1500

⇒ 5x + 15x + 8x + 2x = 1500

⇒ 30x = 1500

⇒ x = 50

⇒ gold = 2.5  × 2(50) = 250 gram

⇒ Copper = 15 × 50 = 750 gram

⇒ brass = 8 × 50 = 400 gram

⇒ Tin = 2(50) = 100 gram
