assume two numbers are x and y
x/y = 2/3.. 2x = 3y ----1

The number 50 is divided into two equal parts. If you make equal parts there is no question of Largest part and Smallest Part. So assuming 50 is devided in to two parts.

x+ y = 50 ---- 2

Recently, I decided to walk down an escalator of a tube station. I did some quick calculation in my mind. I found that if I walk down twenty " six steps, I require thirty seconds to reach the bottom. However, if I am able to step down thirty " four stairs, I would only require eighteen seconds to get to the bottom. If the time is measured from the moment the top step begins to descend to the time I step off the last step at the bottom, can you a pizza which is thin is cut into 'x' pieces by 4 straight lines then the lowest possible value of x is?
