$\sf{\bold{\green{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

• let the shares be 2x , x , 3x

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf: \implies\: {\bold{ 2x + x + 3x = Rs.2400}}$

⠀⠀⠀

$\sf: \implies\: {\bold{ 6x = Rs.2400}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf: \implies\: {\bold{ x = \dfrac{2400}{6}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf: \implies\: {\bold{ x = \dfrac{1200}{3}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf: \implies\: {\bold{ x = Rs. 400}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Finding the shares

⠀⠀⠀⠀

2x = 2 × 400 = Rs. 800

⠀⠀⠀⠀

x = Rs. 400

⠀⠀⠀⠀

3x = 3 x 400 = Rs.1200

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Finding the least shares

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Rs. 800 > Rs. 400

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Rs. 1200 > Rs. 400

⠀⠀

• Least share = Rs. 400

⠀⠀⠀⠀
