Question

Divide Rs.500 between Rita and seema such that one third share of Rita and half share of seema are equal. ​

Answer 1

hey mate

here is your answer...

let Rita's share be X

thus,seema's share will be (500-x)

thus,

⅓*X=½*(500-x)

x/3=500-x/2

in cross multiplication,

2x=1500-3x

5x=1500

x=300

thus,

Rita's share=₹300

Seema's share=₹200

Answer 2

let their shares be x and 500-x

now given

$\frac{1}{3} (x) = \frac{1}{2} (500 - x) \\ \\ 2x = 1500 - 3x \\ \\ 5x = 1500 \\ \\ x = 300$

Therefore their shares are

Rita 300 and Seema 200

hope it helps
