A lost and hungry vagabond happened upon a pair of travelers one of whom had three loaves of bread while the other had five. All of the loaves were the same size and weight. The two travelers decided to share their bread with the vagabond, and that the eight loaves should be shared equally among the three of them. When they had finished, the vagabond reached into his pocket and pulled out eight coins. In what ratio should the eight coins be split between the traveler who had three loaves of bread and the traveler who had five loaves of bread?

Answer 1:7
The guy with three loaves of bread just contributes 1/3 in total from his 3.
The guy with five loaves of bread contributes 2+1/3 in total from his 5.
In this way, everyone gets 2+2/3 bread (=Total Bread/ Total People= 8/3)
And the ratio in which the travelers should get the money is 1/3 : 2+1/3 ie, 1/3 : 7/3
Hence, answer (D)
