Answer 1

$\huge {\blue {\bold {HELLO \:\: ...!!!}}}$

$\large {\red {\bold {Here \: is \: your \: answer }}}$

Total bananas = 24.
Ratio in which it was divided = 3:5.
Sum of ratio = 3+5= 8.

No of bananas Shubham got = $\frac {3}{8} \times 24 \\ = 9$

Hence, Shubham got 9 bananas.

Answer 2

Given ratio of bananas = 3 : 5

Let number of bananas Shubham get

= 3x

number bananas Anil get = 5x

Total bananas = 24 ( given )

3x + 5x = 24

=> 8x = 24

=> x = 24/8 = 3

Therefore ,

Number of bananas Shubham get

= 3x = 3 × 3 = 9

Option ( D ) is correct.
