Solution

$Let the total bill = Rs x Now, amount of bill paid by A = Rs (\frac{x}{2}) Amount of bill paid by B = Rs (\frac{x}{5}) Amount of bill to be paid = x - (\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{5}) = Rs [x - \frac{7 x}{10}] = Rs (\frac{3 x}{10}) Now, C, D and E paid equal amount of bill . So, amount of bill paid by each of C, D and E = \frac{1}{3} of Rs (\frac{3 x}{10}) = Rs (\frac{x}{10}) So, C, D and E each paid \frac{1}{10} of the total bill .$
