The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing Rs. 1,870 into three parts such that half of the first part, one-third of the second part, and one-sixth of the third part are all equal, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Parts Let the three parts be: - First part = \( x \) - Second part = \( y \) - Third part = \( z \) ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations According to the problem, we have: \[ \frac{x}{2} = \frac{y}{3} = \frac{z}{6} \] Let’s denote this common value as \( k \). Therefore, we can express \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) in terms of \( k \): \[ x = 2k \] \[ y = 3k \] \[ z = 6k \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Total Equation Since the total amount is Rs. 1,870, we can write: \[ x + y + z = 1870 \] Substituting the values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \): \[ 2k + 3k + 6k = 1870 \] This simplifies to: \[ 11k = 1870 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( k \) Now, we can solve for \( k \): \[ k = \frac{1870}{11} = 170 \] ### Step 5: Find the Values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) Now that we have \( k \), we can find \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \): \[ x = 2k = 2 \times 170 = 340 \] \[ y = 3k = 3 \times 170 = 510 \] \[ z = 6k = 6 \times 170 = 1020 \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Thus, the three parts are: - First part \( x = Rs. 340 \) - Second part \( y = Rs. 510 \) - Third part \( z = Rs. 1020 \) ### Final Answer: The three parts are Rs. 340, Rs. 510, and Rs. 1020. ---
