A man leaves ₹ 1 85 378 to be divided between his son and daughter in the ratio 17/3:11/5. Find the amount each receives.​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹ 133535 and  ₹ 51843

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount - ₹ 1 85 378

Let son's share be- s and daughter's share be- d. Given:

• s:d=17/3 : 11/5
• s+d= ₹ 185378

If s= 17/3 x and d= 11/5 x, then:

• s+d= 17/3 x+ 11/5 x

• 17/3 x+ 11/5 x = 185378
• 17*5x+11*3x= 185378*15
• 85x+33x=2780670
• 118x= 2780670
• x=23565

s= 17/3*23565= ₹ 133535 - son's share

d= 11/5*23565=  ₹ 51843 - daughter's share
