We can write every other variable in terms of Z. X's share is \(\frac{Z}{7}\). \(\frac{1}{5}\) of Y’s share is equal to \(\frac{1}{7}\) of Z’s share, so we have \(Y = \frac{5}{7}Z\).
Then \(X + Y+ Z = \frac{1}{7}Z + \frac{5}{7}Z + Z = \frac{13}{7}Z = 195,000\)
\(Z = \frac{195,000}{13} * 7 = 15,000*7 = 105,000\)
Ans: D
