Answer 2

Given :

A sum of 6000 rupees divided between sunil and anil in the ratio 2:3

To find :

how much each get?

Solution:

Let the ratio be x

So, Sunil's share = 2x

Anil's share = 3x

A sum of 6000 rupees

So, 2x+3x=6000

5x=6000

x=1200

Sunil's share = 2x=2(1200)=2400

Anil's share = 3x=3(1200)=3600

Hence Sunil gets Rs.2400 and Anil gets Rs.3600
