    Three friends had dinner at a restaurant. When the bill was received, Amita paid 2/3 as much as Veena paid and Veena paid \[\frac{1}{2}\] as much as Tanya paid. What faction of the bill did Veena pay?

    A) 1/3                   

    B) 3/11

    C) 12/13               

    D) 5/8

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let Tanya's share = Rs. x. Then, Veena's share \[=Rs.\left( \frac{x}{2} \right).\] Total bill \[=Rs.\left( x+\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x}{3} \right)=Rs.\left( \frac{11x}{6} \right)\] Amita's share \[=Rs.\left( \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{x}{2} \right)\]             \[=Rs.\left( \frac{x}{3} \right)\] \[\therefore \] Required fraction \[=\left( \frac{x}{2}\times \frac{6}{11x} \right)\]                         \[=\frac{3}{11}\]
