Diya purchased 15×3/4=63/4m
Gave her sister 1/3 of cloth available with diya=> sister has 1/3×63/4m
=21/4m cloth
Thus, cloth remaining with diya is
63/4-21/4
=42/4
=10.5 m

Answer:
Length of cloth purchased by Diya=15 3/4 m
Length she gave to her sister=3/4 ×15 3/4
Length of cloth remaining with Diya=15 3/4 - (3/4 × 15 3/4)
=63/4 - (3/4 × 63/4)
=63/4 - 189/16
LCM of 4,16=16
=252/16 - 189/16
=252-189/16
=63/16
=3 6/16
=3 3/8
She had 3 3/8 m of cloth remaining
