Solution
Part of apple eaten by Ritu = `3/5`
Part of apple eaten by Somu = 1 − Part of apple eaten by Ritu
`= 1 - 3/5 = 2/5`
Therefore, Somu ate `2/5`part of the apple.
Since 3 > 2, Ritu had the larger share.
Difference between the 2 shares = `3/5 - 2/5 = 1/5`
Therefore, Ritu’s share is larger than the share of Somu by `1/5`
