Question

Ram took a glass of milk,drank half and gave it to Shyam who drank (2/3)rd of the remaining and gave it to Raju who drank the rest.Which is true:

• A. Ram drank the most
• B. Shyam drank the least
• C. Ram & Shyam drank equally
• D. Raju drank the most

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ram drank the most

Fraction of milk Conosumed by Ram =$\frac{1}{2}$
Fraction of milk Consumed by Shyam = $\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{6}$
Fraction of milk Consumed by Raju =$1-(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3})$
=$1-\frac{5}{6}[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3+2}{6}]$
=$\frac{1}{6}$
Hence statement 1 is true.
