Let $G$ be a hypergraph with $m_i$ edges of size $i$ for $i= 1,2$. We show that for any integer $k\ge 1$, $V(G)$ admits a partition into $k$ sets each containing at most $m_1/k+ m_2/k^2+ o(m_2)$ edges, establishing a conjecture of Bollobás and Scott. We also prove that $V(G)$ admits a partition into $k\ge 3$ sets, each meeting at least $m_1/k+ m_2/(k- 1)+ o(m_2)$ edges, which, for large graphs, implies a conjecture of Bollobás and Scott (the conjecture is for all graphs). For $k=2$, we prove that $V(G)$ admits a partition into two sets each meeting at least $m_1/2+ 3m_2/4+o(m_2)$ edges, which solves a special case of a more general problem of Bollobás and Scott. rv:
