Value of S in 1/3 + S = 2/5
(a) 4/5
(b) 1/15
(c) 10
(d) 0

Solution:

Given, the expression is 1/3 + S = 2/5.

We have to find the value of S.

On solving the expression for S,

1/3 + S = 2/5

On grouping of common terms,

S = 2/5 - 1/3

S = [2(3) - 5(1)]/5(3)

S = (6 - 5)/15

S = 1/15

Therefore, the value of S is 1/15
