Sheela ate 3/5th of a cake. She gave 1/5th of the remaining cake to her friend. What portion of the cake is still left with her?

a) 8/25
b) 1/5
c) 17/25
d) 2/5
e)4/5

• Ans: 8/25
  consider the value of cake=100
  sheela ate 3/5 of cake(i.e) 3/5*100=60 percent of cake she would ate
  in remaining 40%, she give 1/5th so 1/5*40 =8%she will give to her friend
  therefore 32%(40-8) she will have remaining 32/100=8/25

• Sheela ate 3/5th of a cake
  remaining cake=1-3/5=2/5
  She gave 1/5th of the remaining cake to her friend
  i.e. she gave 2/5*1/5=2/25 part of cake
  so remaining cake=2/5-2/25=8/25
  so ans=8/25

• She ate 3/5th . So out 5 parts she is left with 2/5 ie 1-(3/5)=2/5. And then she gave 1/5th of the remaining ie 2/5-1/5=1/5.
  Thus she is left with 1/5th of the cake.

• cake ate by sheela=3/5
  remaining cake=2/5
  cake given to friend=1/5 of remaining cake
  =1/5x 2/5
  =2/25
  cake remaining with her=1-[3/5+2/25]
  =1-17/25
  =8/25
