Let the ratios be 3x and 5x

sum of the ratios is 8x

8x=1,60,000

x=1, 60,000/8

=2000

3x = 3*2000=6,000Rupees

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the shares be 3x and 5x

According to the question

3x+5x=1,60,000

8x=1,60,000

x=1,60,000/8 =20,000

therefore,

the smaller share = 3*x=3*20,000

= 60,000
