A cake is shared among 5 friends. Four friends take 1/8, 1/6, 5/12, 1/12 part of the cake, respectively. How much part of the cake does the fifth friend get? Correct Answer 5/24

⇒ Part of cake left with 5th friend = 1 – {(1/8) + (1/6) + (5/12) + (1/12)} = 1 – {(3 + 4 + 10 + 2)/24} = 1 – (19/24) = 5/24
