Question

Divide Rs.200 into two parts such that 1/3rd of first and 1/2 of second are equal


Answer fast

Answer 1

Let one part be x.
Thus, other part = 200-x.
A/Q,
x/3=200-x/2
=> 2x= 600-3x
=> 5x=600
x=120.

Thus other number is 200-120=80.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one part be x

Second part = 200 - x

1/3 rd of first part = $\frac{1}{3}x$

1/2 of second part = $\frac{1}{2} (200-x)$

We are given that 1/3rd of first and 1/2 of second are equal

So,  $\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{1}{2} (200-x)$

$\frac{1}{3}x=100-\frac{1}{2}x$

$\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}x=100$

$\frac{5}{6}x=100$

$x=100 \times \frac{6}{5}$

$x=120$
