❍ Gɪᴠᴇɴ

A piece of string is cut into parts in the ratio 3:5

The length of longer piece is 20

❍ Tᴏ Fɪɴᴅ

Length of the shorter piece ?

❍ Sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ

A piece of string is cut into parts in the ratio 3:5

• One part is 3x
• Another part is 5x

The length of longer piece is 20

5x is greater than 3x

So, 5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

The length of shorter piece is 3x

So, Here x = 4

3x = 3(4)

= 12

∴ Length of the shorter piece is 12
