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

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Area of plot of land = 600 sq m

Consider second share =x

So first share =

5

3

x

Here the ratio between them =

5

3

x:x

We get =

5

3

:1=3:5

Sum of the ratio between them =3+5=8

So the share of first person =

8

600

×3=225 sq m

Similarly the share of second person =

8

600

×5=375 sq m
