Question

A man and a women share a sum of money in the ratio 3:2. if the sum of money is doubles in what ratio shold they devide so the man gets equal money

Answer 1

Answer:

man's present share = 3x

wife's pesent share = 2x

total = 5x

after doubling: sum = 10x

but he still wants only 3x

so his fraction = 3x/10x = 3/10

so his wife's share = 7/10

they should divide it in the ratio of 3 : 7
