Question

A man leaves ₹185378 to be divided between his son and daughter in the ratio 17/3:11/5. Find the amount each receives.

Answer 1

Answer:

17/3+11/5 = 118/15

118/15x = 185378

x = 15/118 ×185378

23565

Answer 2

Given: Ratio of amount divided between son and daughter

Let the share of amount of son and daughter be 85x and 33x

Then 85x + 33x= Rs 185378

Hence amount received by son = 85 x Rs 1571 Rs = 133535

and amount received by daughter = 33 x Rs 1571 = Rs 51843
