    				| 1. | Divide 150 into three parts such that the second number is five - sixths the first and the third number is four - fifths the second. | 
| Answer» Let the first part be x of 150 According to the question second part is \(\frac{5}{6}\text{x}\) And the third part is \(\frac{4}{5}(\frac{5}{6}\text{x})\) Adding all of them \(\text{x}+\frac{5}{6}\text{x}+\frac{20}{30}\text{x}=150\) Taking LCM of 6 and 30 = 30 \(\Rightarrow \frac{30\text{x+25x+20x}}{30}=150\) ⇒ 75x = 150 × 30 \(\Rightarrow \text{x}=\frac{4500}{75}=60\) Second part = \(\frac{5}{6}\text{x}=50\) Third part = \(\frac{4}{5}(\frac{5}{6}\text{x})=40\) | |
