Question

16. A plot of land. 600 sq m in area, is divided between two persons such that the first
person gets three-fifths of what the second gets. Find the share of each.
​

Answer 1

Let plot got by second person be x

Then plot got by first person=3/5x

According to question,

3/5x + x = 600

3x + 5x=600×5

x = 3000/8

x =375

Hence,

Second person's plot=375sq m

First person's plot=225sq m
