Answer 1

Step-to-Step explanation:

=> 7:4 = 55

=> 7x + 4x = 55

=> 11x = 55

=> x=$\frac{55}{11}$

=> x = 5

Papers given to Geetha: -

=> 7x = 7 x 5

=> 35 papers

Papers given to Kala: -

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer

Let ratios be written as 7x and 2x

7x+2x=1575

9x=1575

x=

9

1575

x=175

Substitute the value of x

7x=7(175)=1225

2x=2(175)=350

Kamal will get Rs. 1225 where as Madhu will get Rs. 350.
