Question

A sum of money is divided in the ratio 3 8 the larger part is rupees 744 find the smaller part

Answer 1

Answer:

smaller part = 279

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the ratio is 3 : 8 & the larger part is rs. 744.

Given :

Ratio = 3 : 8

Solution :

⇒ 8x = 744       [∴ Large part = 744]

⇒ x = 744/8

⇒ x = 93.

Now, as we know x = 93

Than the value of the smaller part would be -

3x = 93*3 = 279

Verification :

279/3 = 744/8  {3x = 8x}

     93 = 93
