Best answer

Total part = 1
Part eaten by Ritu = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Part eaten by Somu = Total part – part eaten by Ritu

= 1 - \(\frac{3}{5}\) = \(\frac{5 - 3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}\)

Now,
We have to tell who ate the larger share so, we have to compare,

Amount she ate larger by = \(\frac{3}{5}\) - \(\frac{2}{5}\)

\(\frac{3 - 2}{5} = \frac{1}{5}\)

Ritu ate large share by \(\frac{1}{5}\)
