Question

A sum of 1,60,000 is divided in the ratio of 3:5. What is the smaller share? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio is 3:5.

Therefore,

3x and 5x.

3x + 5x = 160000

8x = 1,60,000

x = 1,60,000/8

x = 20000.

The smaller share is 3x.

Therefore, 3x = 3 * 20000

=Rs. 60000

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

As per the data given in the question,

We have to divide the given sum into two parts.

As per question,

It is given that,

Total sum = 1, 60, 000

Ratio in which the money is to be shared = 3:5

So, let the first part which one is smaller be $=3x$

Second part which one is larger be $=5x$

So, as Rs 1, 60, 000 is shared in two parts, so we can say that the sum of two parts should be Rs 160000

Hence, we can rewrite the above equation as,

$8x = 160000\\=>x = \frac{160000}{8}\\=>x = 20000$

So, the value of parts will be,

$3x = (3\times 20000) = 60000\\5x = (5 \times 20000) = 100000$

Hence, the value of smaller parts will be Rs. 60000
