Question

Divide 500 rupees between Rita and Seema such that one-third share of rita and half share of seema are equal.

Answer 1

let rita's share be x

1/2 of seema's share = 1/3x

seema's share = 2/3x

x + 2/3x = 500

5/3x = 500

x = 500*3/5

x = 300

rita's share is 300

seema's share is 2/3*300 = 200
