Answer 1

Complete Question:

Four girls padmini, karishma, rekha and sumitra divide a bag of sweets. Padmini takes 2/3 of them, karishma takes 1/5th of the remainder and the rest is equally shared between rekha and sumitra. What fraction of the sweets did rekha or sumitra get?

Given:

Padmini takes 2/3 of sweets

Karishma takes 1/5 of the remaining sweets

The rest of the sweets are shared equally between Rekha and Sumitra.

To Find:

What fraction of the sweets did Rekha or Sumitra get?

Solution:

Padmini takes = 2/3

Remaining sweets:

=> 1 - 2/3

=> (3-2)/3

=> 1/3

Given: Karishma takes 1/5 of the remaining sweets

=> 1/5 of 1/3

=> 1/15

Add Padmini's and Karishma's share:

=> 2/3 + 1/15

=> (10+1)/15

=> 11/15

Now subtract 11/15 from 1:

=> 1 - 11/15

=> (15-11)/15

=> 4/15

Given: Rekha and Sumitra shared equally:

=> 1/2 of 4/15

=> 2/15.

Hence, The required answer is => 2/15
