Question

A sum of 1,60,000 divided in the ratio of 3:5 what is the smaller share

Answer 1

smaller share = 1,60,000 × 3/(3+5),

smaller share =1,60,000 ×3/8,

=20,000×3,

=60,000

Answer 2

Sum = 1,60,000

Ratio = 3:5

Sum of ratio = 3+5 = 8

Now , Smallest share = 3/8×160000 = 3×20000= 60000

Largest Share = 5/8×160000= 5×20000= 100000
