Question

Divide $Rs.1000$ between Shubh and Swastik such that one-third share of Shubh and half the share of Swastik are equal.

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{3}$ Shubh $=\frac{1}{2}$ Swastik

$2$ Shubh $=3$ Swastik ____ (1)

Shubh $+$ Swastik $=1000$ (Given)

Multiply by $2$.

$2$ (Shubh $+$ Swastik) $=2\times 1000$

$2$ Shubh $+2$ Swastik $=2000$

$3$ Swastik $+2$ Swastik $=2000$

$5$ Swastik $=2000$

Swastik $=400$

$\therefore$ Shubh $=1000-400=600$
