    Question

    Three friends arranged a party. Tanveer paid 2/3 as much as Yusuf paid. Yusuf paid 1/2 as much as Sachin paid. The fraction of the total expenditure by Yusuf was:

    A.

    2/11

    B.

    3/11

    C.

    7/11

    D.

    5/11

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Tanveer paid23 \frac{2}{3}​ as much as Yusuf:
    T = 23\frac{2}{3}​Y
    Yusuf paid 12 \frac{1}{2}​as much as Sachin:
    Y = 12\frac{1}{2}​S

    Solution:

    Let the amount paid by Sachin =S.

    Let the amount paid by Yusuf = Y= 600

    Let the amount paid by Tanveer = T.

    According to question 

    In condition T =23\frac{2}{3}​Y put y =600 

    T = 400

     In condition Y =12\frac{1}{2}​S  put y =600

     S =1200

    Total expenditure =S+Y+T

                                    =1200+600+400=2200

    Fraction of Yusuf in total expenditure = Yusuf amount/ total expenditure=  600/2200 =3/11
