Question

divide rupees 500 between Rita and Sita such that one third share of Rita and half share of Seema are equal

Answer 1

Given that divide 500 between Rita and Seema.

Let the amount of Rita be x.

Then the amount of Seema will be 500 - x.

Given that 1/3 of Rita = 1/2 of Seema.

                  1/3 * x = 1/2 * (500 - x)

                  x/3 = 250 - x/2

                  x/3 + x/2 = 250

                  5x/6 = 250

                    x = 300.

If the share of Rita is 300. Then the share of seema will be 500 - 300 = 200.


Therefore, Rita gets 300 rupees. Seema gets 200 rupees.


Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:  

Rita gets 300 rupees and Seema gets 200 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to divide Rs. 500 between Rita and Seema.

Let the amount of Rita be x.

Then the amount of Seema will be 500 - x.

Given that 1/3 of Rita = 1/2 of Seema.

⇒ 1/3 × x = 1/2 × (500 - x)

⇒ x/3 = 250 - x/2

⇒ x/3 + x/2 = 250

⇒ 5x/6 = 250

⇒ x = 300.

If the share of Rita is 300. Then the share of seema will be 500 - 300 = 200.

Hence, Rita gets 300 rupees and Seema gets 200 rupees.
