Answer 2

Answer

Your question is :

A sum of money is divided in the ratio 2 :5 if the larger amount is rupees 275 find the smaller amount.

Let the amount be 2x and 5x

Clearly the larger amount is 5x

So, as per the question : 5x = 275

$\implies \rm x = \frac { 275 } { 5 }$

$\implies \rm <strong>x = 55</strong><strong> </strong>$

So , the smaller amount will be : 2(55) = 110

Hence the total amount will be 110 + 275 = 385

Now summarizing the results we got

Larger amount = 275

Smaller amount = 110

Total amount = 385
