Let the length of lamppost = L mThen,first part = L/3and second part = (3/8) x L/3 = L/8 and third part = 6 m 50 cm = 6.50 mFirst part + second part + Third part = length of lamppost ⇒ L/3 + L/8 + 6.5 = L ⇒ L - L/3 - L/8 =6.5 ⇒ (24L - 8L - 3L)/24 = 6.5 ⇒ 13L/24 = 6.5 ∴ L = (65.x 24)/13 = 12 m
Converting the given fractions into decimal form, we have,8/9 = 0.8818/23 = 0.7816/21 = 0.7614/17 = 0.82From the above, 0.88 is the largest.Corresponding fraction is 8/9.
Let the worth of total property be Rs.XWe have to find 3/5 of X.Given that, 5/6 th of the property = Rs.976500i.e., 5/6 x X = 976500X = 976500 x 6/5And, 3/5 of X = 3/5 x 976500 x 6/5 = 18 x 39060 = 703080Hence the answer is Rs. 703080
