Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Rs. 1020
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This partition problem gives fractional equalities on each part. Turning those into a single parameter makes the algebra straightforward and lets us recover each part from the total sum.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Let a/2 = b/3 = c/6 = k. Then a = 2k, b = 3k, c = 6k. Use a + b + c = 1870 to find k and then compute c directly as 6k.
Step-by-Step Solution:
a = 2k, b = 3k, c = 6k.Sum = 2k + 3k + 6k = 11k = 1870.k = 1870 / 11 = 170.Third part c = 6k = 6 * 170 = ₹ 1020.
Verification / Alternative check:
Check the equalized fractions: a/2 = 340/2 = 170, b/3 = 510/3 = 170, c/6 = 1020/6 = 170, all consistent.
