Question

5. 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:

Let the 2nd person get = Xm²

So the 1st one gets = 3X/5m²

since the whole is divided to both hence

1st person + 2nd person= 600m²

3X/5 + X=600

LCM=5

3x/5 + 5X/5 = 600

8X/5=600

X/5=600/8

X/5=75

X= 75×5

X=375

Hence the share is

375m² for 2nd person

3(375)/5 => 3(75)=> 225m²
