Question

A certain amount is divided between A and B in the ratio 2 : 5. If A's share is Rs. 1400, find the total amount.?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the total amount be x

Step-by-step explanation:

a's share -2x

b's share-5x

a/q

2x=1400

• x=1400

$\frac{1400}{2}$

x=700

b's share =5x

5×700

=3500

now total amount

a+b share =1400+3500

=4900

Answer 2

The total amount is equal to Rs. 4900.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the share of A = 2x and

The share of B = 5x

To  find, the total amount = ?

According to question,

The share of A = 2x = Rs. 1400

2x = Rs. 1400

⇒ x = Rs. 700

∴ The share of B = 5x = 5 × Rs. 700

= Rs. 3500

∴ The total amount = The share of A + The share of A

= Rs. 1400 + Rs. 3500

= Rs. 4900

Thus, the total amount is equal to Rs. 4900.
