Solution:
From the question, it is given that,
Part of apple eaten by Ritu is = (3/5)
Part of apple eaten by Somu is = 1 – Part of apple eaten by Ritu
= 1 – (3/5)
The LCM of 1, 5 = 5
Now, let us change each of the given fraction into an equivalent fraction having 10 as the denominator.
= [(1/1) × (5/5)] – [(3/5) × (1/1)]
= (5/5) – (3/5)
= (5 - 3)/5
= 2/5
∴ Part of apple eaten by Somu is (2/5)
So, (3/5) > (2/5) hence, Ritu ate larger size of apple.
Now, the difference between the 32 shares = (3/5) – (2/5)
= (3 - 2)/5
= 1/5
Thus, Ritu’s share is larger than share of Somu by (1/5)
