Answer 2

a) 1/4

Given,

• Ganga and Avanthi are partners in the ratio of 3:2

• Gokul is admitted as a partner, and he takes /4th of his share from Ganga

• Avanthi gives 3/16 from her share to Gokul

To find,

The share of Gokul.

Solution,

Let the total number of shares be a.

The ratio of shares between Ganga and Avanthi is 3:2

Converting this ratio into the fraction of total shares Ganga and Avanthi have.

Ganga will have $\frac{3}{5}$ fraction of the total share.

Avanthi will have $\frac{2}{5}$ fraction of the total share.

Shares Ganga has = $\frac{3}{5}a$

Shares Avanthi has = $\frac{2}{5}a$

Gokul gets a fourth of his shares from Ganga. This means Gokul gets three fourth of his claims from Avanthi.

Amount of share Avanthi gives to Gokul = $\frac{2}{5}a*\frac{3}{16} = \frac{3}{40}a$

$\frac{3}{4}th$ of Gokul's shares = $\frac{3}{40}a$

Complete share of Gokul's = $\frac{3}{40}*\frac{4}{3}a$$= \frac{1}{4}a$

Therefore, the ratio of the share of Gokul is 1/4.
