Answer 1

Answer:

Let the share of one freind be x RS.

share of another friend=(36000-x) RS.

According to the question ,

1/5*x=1/7*(36000-x)

7*x=5*(36000-x)

7x=180000-5x

7x+5x=180000

12x=180000

x=15000 Rs

Other

36000-x=36000-15000

=21000 Rs

one share is 15000 Rs and the other is 21000 Rs

$7*x=5*(36000-x)$

By simplifying,

$7x=180000-5x$

$7x+5x=180000$

$12x=180000$

We get,

$x=15000 Rs$
