Answer 1

Answer:

a ) 432

Step-by-step explanation:

Seema gets 1/2 of what Arpit gets.so,

if arpit gets 2 parts means, seema get half of what arpit gets ,that is 1 part.

ratios S : A = 1:2

Hema gets 5/3 times Seema’s share. if seema gets 3 parts means hema gets 2 parts more which means 5 parts,

H : S= 5: 3

H : S : A

¹ 1 2

5 3 ³

----------------------------------------

5 : 3 : 6

------------------------------------------

total parts , 14 parts = 2016

3 parts = x

apply cross multiplication,

x= 432
