Question

Divide 700 into three parts such that the first part is ⅔ of the second and the ratio between the second and third is 4:5.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first and the third parts be 3x and 5x.

Second part =

4

1

of third part =

4

×5x=

4

5x

Therefore, 3x+

4

5x

+5x=370

⟹

4

12x+5x+20

=370

⟹

4

37x

=370

⟹x=

37

370×4

x=10×4=40

Therefore, first part =3x=3×40=Rs.120

Second part =

4

5x

=5×

40

=Rs.50

Thied part =5x=5×40=Rs.200
