Question

Divide rs.49,600 among two partners a and b so that :a's share : b's share=1/2:1/3

Answer 1

Answer

Let the shares be 1/2x and 1/3x

Therefore 1/2x+1/3x=49600

              L.C.M=6

Now, 3x+2x=49600×6

          5x =297600

            x=297600/5

              =59520

Therefore a's share=1/2×59520

                                =29760

         And B's share=1/3×59520

                                =19840
