Solution

Let the share of huma be 'x'
Then,the share of seema by the problem will be x/2
And the share of hubna will be 1 2/3x/2=5x/6
Total money is Rs.2016
⇒x+x/2+5x/6=Rs.2016
⇒(6x+3x+5x)/6=Rs.2016
⇒14x/6=Rs.2016
⇒x=20166/14
⇒x=864.
Therefore,huma's share = x= Rs.864
Seema's share = x/2 = Rs.432
And Hubna's share = 5x/6= Rs.720 .
