​

Answer 1

Given:

• Munna and Munni are aged 14 years and 10 years.
• mother wants to divide 180 between them in the ratio of their ages.

To finD:

• Share of Munna and Munni.

Solution:

Given age of Munna and Munni is 14years and 10years respectively. So, Ratio of share of money between Munna and Munni is 14:10.

Now,

Suppose constant of Ratio is x

Therefore,

Share of Munna and Munni is 14x and 10x respectively of ₹180.

So,

14x + 10x = 180

→ 24x = 180

→ x = $\large{\bf{\dfrac{180}{24}}}$

→ x = 7.5

Hence,

• Share of Munna = 14x = 14×7.5 = ₹105
• Share of Munni = 10x = 10×7.5 = ₹75
