Solution
i. Part of the water drink by Vidya = `2/5`
= `2/5 xx 5 "litres"`
= 2 liters
Hence, the quantity of water drink by Vidya = 2 litres
ii. Fraction of amount of water drink by Pratap = Total water – Part of water drink by Vidya
= `1 - 2/5`
[Here the total portion of water is 1.]
= `(5 - 2)/5`
= `3/5`
Hence, the portion of water drink by Pratap = `2/5`
Hence, quantity of water drink by Vidya = 2 and litres and share of water drink by Pratap = `3/5`
