Question

A sum of rs.5000 was divided among p, q and r in the ratio of 2:3:5. If the amount of rs 500 was added to each, what will be their new ratio?

Answer 1

Answer:

let p,q,r be 2x,3x,5x.

2x+3x+5x=5000

10x=5000

X=500

2x=1000

3x=1500

5x=2500

After adding 500 each,the ratio will be 2:3:5
