Question

• A. $\frac{2}{9}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{2}{3}$
• D. $\frac{1}{9}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{2}{3}$

Sunny was given $\frac{1}{3}$ of a sum of money

Amount left will be $1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$

Amount received by Ankur is $\frac{1}{3}$ of left amount $({\frac{2}{9}}^{th}$ of total amount $)$

Amount received by Ankur will be $\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{2}{3}$ of total amount $=\frac{2}{9}$ of total amount

Ankur's share as a fraction of Sunny's share is $\frac{\frac{2}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{2}{3}$

So Correct answer will be option C
