Question

A sum of
1.60.000 is divided in the ratio of 3.5. What is the smaller share​

Answer 1

The sum here is given as 1,60,000 which is divided by a ratio 3:5.

Let the ratio be in the form 3x:5x (where x is a positive integer)

So,
3x + 5x = 1,60,000
8x = 1,60,000

Therefore,
x = 20,000

Now,
3x = 20,000 X 3
= 60,000
5x = 20,000 X 5
= 1,00,000

Hence,
The shares are:
60,000 and 1,00,000

Therefore,
The smaller share is 60,000
