Question 41

Divide 3740 in three parts in such a way that half of the first part, one-third of the second part and one-sixth of the third part are equal.

Solution

Let the three parts be a , b and c.

$$\frac{a}{2} = \frac{b}{3} =\frac{c}{6}$$ = k

a = 2k

b = 3k

c = 6k

a + b + c =3740

2k + 3k + 6k = 3740 => k =340

a = 680 , b =1020 , c=2040

So, the answer would be option c)680, 1020, 2040
