Question

Divided 2000 into two such parts that one third of a part equals to the half of another part. Also find the difference between the two parts

Answer 1

Answer:

800 and 1200

Difference is 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be to parts

Then, A/q to ques:

x/3=y/2

2x=3y

x+y=2000

x=2000-y

2(2000-y)=3y

4000-2y=3y

4000=5y

y = 800

x +800 = 2000

x = 2000- 800

therefore x= 1200
