Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Rs 250 is divided into 2 parts in the ratio of 2:3

Amount in the first part = ??

Let,

Amount divided = 2x and 3x

first part + Second part = total amount

2x + 3x = 250

5x = 250

x = 250/5

x = 50

first part = 2x

2 × 50

100

first part = Rs. 100

Second part = 3x

3 × 50

150

Second part = Rs. 150

100 + 150 = 250

Total amount = Rs. 250

Therefore, Amount in the first part = Rs. 100
