Question

a sumof 1,60, 000 is divided in ratio 3:5 what is smaller share​

Answer 1

Let the shares be x&y

Therefore, x+y=160000

$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{5} \\ \frac{x + y}{y} = \frac{3 + 5}{5} \\ \frac{160000}{y} = \frac{8}{5} \\ y = \frac{160000 \times 5}{8} \\ y = 100000$

Therefore, x+100000=160000

Hence, x=60000
