Question

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:

First person gets 215 sq m land

2nd person gets 375 sq m land

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2nd person gets the plot=x sq.m

then the 1st person will get=3x/5 sq.m

according to the question,

3x/5+x=600

on solving the above equation, we get:

x=375

therefore, 3x/5= 3×375/5;

=215

hence,

1st person gets 215 sq.m land and 2nd person gets 375 sq.m land...
