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

Answer:

total land =600 sq m

let us assume second one gets= x sq m

first one gets=(600-x) sq m

3/5th of second one=first one.

3/5*x=600-x.

3/5x+x=600

8/5*x= 600.

x= 600*5/8

x=75*5

x= 375 sq m

first one share=600-375=225 sq m

second one share=375 sq m
