Question

Q26. Meena bought a cake and left it on the table in the morning. When she came home in the evening, she saw that of the cake had been eaten. She ate of the remaining cake. Her brother ate of the remaining cake. Find the portion of the remaining cake?

Answer 1

The answer is; 24/75 of the entire cake remained

If 2/5 of the initial cake was eaten, the 3/5 is what remained

MInu ate 1/3 of the 3/5 = 3/15

3/5 – 3/15 = 6/15 remained

Her brother ate; 1/5 of 6/15 = 6/75

6/15 – 6/75 = 24/75 remained
