Answer:
if he gives $x to the youngest child, he will give $(x+2) to the next one, $[(x+2) + 2] to the next one and so on.
So if we go on adding x, x+2, x+4, x+6,x+8, x+10, x+12,
Then the final equation is 7x+42 and he has Rs.100 so;
7X+42=100.
Solving this equation;
7x = 58
Therefore x = $ 8.2
Youngest child gets $ 8.2
