Question

A owns 3/7 of a piece of land, B owns 2/5 of it and C's share is worth Rs 72000, what are A's and B's share worth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A's share=Rs.180000

B's share=Rs.168000

Step-by-step explanation:

A owns= 3/7

B owns= 2/5

Multiplying the numerator and denominator by 5 in A and by 7 in B, we get:

A=15/35

B=14/35

Adding both we get= 15+14/35

                              = 29/35

Hence C owns 35-29/ 35 of the land.

which is 6/35.

Therefore, By the problem:

6/35=72000

1/35=72000/6

1/35=12000

Hence;

A's share= 15/35

             =  15*1/35

              = 15*12000

              = Rs.180000

B's share= 14/35

             = 14*1/35

             = 14*12000

             = Rs.168000
