Answer:
The cake was divided into 24 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let you assume the cake as 1. i.e. there was 1 cake.
It is given , Aman got 1/3 cake.
Bhanu got 1/4 cake.
Cary got 1/6 cake.
i.e. total cake eaten by three=
1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6
= 3/ 4 cake
Cake left = 1/4
Cake taken by Dhiraj= 1/3 of 1/4
= 1/12
Now
1/12 = 2 (it is given that 2 pieces are left)
1 = 2×12
1=24
i.e. 1 cake was cut into 24 pieces.
THEREFORE, CAKE DIVIDED IN 24 PIECES.
