Question

a certain sum of the money is divided between p and q in the ratio 7/2:11/2 . if p gets rs 180 less than q,then q's share is.......... explain in details.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q's share be Q, and P's share be (Q−180)

P : Q is 7:11

     

Q

Q−180

​  

=  

11

7

​  

 

11Q−1980=7Q

              4Q=1980

                Q=495

So, Q is Rs 495

Answer 2

Answer:

• p's share = ₹ 315
• q's share = ₹ 495

Explanation:

Let q's share be x.

Then p's share = x-180

A/q

Ratio of p's share to q's share = 7/2 : 11/2

$= > \frac{x - 180}{x} = \frac{ \frac{7}{2} }{ \frac{11}{2} } \\ = > \frac{x - 180}{x} = \frac{7}{11} \\ = > 11x - 1980 = 7x \\ = > 4x = 1980 \\ = > x = 495$

Therefore,

• q's share = ₹495
• p's share = ₹ 315
