Let, Tanay's share = x.
Veena's share = x/2.
Amita share = x/2*2/3=2x/6,
Total amount = x+x/2+2x/6 = 1,
=6x+3x+2x/6=1,
=11x=6,
X = 6/11.
Veena share = x/2.
= (6/11)/2,
= 3/11.
Veena's share = x/2.
Amita share = x/2*2/3=2x/6,
Total amount = x+x/2+2x/6 = 1,
=6x+3x+2x/6=1,
=11x=6,
X = 6/11.
Veena share = x/2.
= (6/11)/2,
= 3/11.

Let Tanya paid x
Then Veena paid 1/2*x
and Amita paid 2/3*1/2*x
Tota bill
(2/3*1/2*x)+ (1/2*x) + x = 1
2x+3x+6x = 6
x = 6/11
Veenna's Bill 1/2*6/11 = 3/11
Then Veena paid 1/2*x
and Amita paid 2/3*1/2*x
Tota bill
(2/3*1/2*x)+ (1/2*x) + x = 1
2x+3x+6x = 6
x = 6/11
Veenna's Bill 1/2*6/11 = 3/11

As it is given that Veena paid 1/2 of what Tanya paid or simply Tanya paid double of Veena. That's why money paid by Tanya is assumed to be 2x.

Let Veena paid x,
So Anita paid 2/3 x,
And Tanya paid 2x,
So total bill paid is given by,
x+(2/3)x+2x = 1.
i.e x = 3/11(ans).
So Anita paid 2/3 x,
And Tanya paid 2x,
So total bill paid is given by,
x+(2/3)x+2x = 1.
i.e x = 3/11(ans).
