Question

A sum of money is divided among 3 boys so that the first get one half of it and the second one third of the remainder what fraction of the first boys is the third boys share

Answer 1

Hope u like my process
=====================
=> Let the total sum of money be Rs x

=> 1st boy gets half of it.. i.e. Rs x/2

=> Remaining sum = Rs(x-x/2) = Rs x/2.

=> 2nd boy gets ⅓rd of remainder...

So he actually gets = Rs ⅓ of x/2.

So the third one would have (1-⅓) of the first ones share.

So the third one will have ⅔ rd of the first boys share.
