Question

Rs 7480 has been divided into three parts such that 1/2 of first ,1/3 of second and 1/6 of third are equal to each other . What is the second parts .

Answer 1

Answer:

₹2805

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the parts be x, y and z

According to question

x + y + z = ₹7480 ....(1)

Also,

x/2 = y/3 = z/6

From above

x/2 = y/3

x = 2y/3

and

y/3 = z/6

z = 6y/3

z = 2y

Substitute value of x and z in terms of y in equation (1)

x + y + z = ₹7480

2y/3 + y + 2y = ₹7480

y(2/3 + 1 + 2) = ₹7480

y(2/3 + 2) = ₹7480

y(2/3 + 6/3) = ₹7480

y(8/3) = ₹7480

y = ₹7480 × 3/8

y = ₹2805
