please answer the following questions :
A cake was cut and distributed among 4 people- Raju,Rani,Veena and Mithun
* Raju and rani got an equal share of the cake
* Veena and Mithun also got an equal share of cake.
Raju's share was twice as large as Veena's. What fraction of the whole cake did Rani get?
Solution:
Let us consider the whole cake as 1, and assume that veena got x share, then Raju will get 2x share.
Since Veena and Mithun got equal share then they both got x share and Raju Rani will get 2x share each.
So the equation we get:
x + x +2x +2x = 1
6x = 1
x = 1/6.
Since Veena got 1/6 share, then Raju will get 2 x 1/6 = 1/3 share.
Since Raju and Rani get equal share, the Rani will also get 1/3 share.
Ans: 1/3 of the cake.
