Question

Akhil and Rahul are two workers, cutting a crop of rice. The amount of paddy crop cut by them was in the ratio of 5:3. They were paid back 360 kg of rice as their labor charges. How much of the rice should each of them get?

Answer 1

Answer:

let's akhil gets A kg rice

and Rahul gets R kg rice

so A : R = 5 : 3

total rice = 360 kg

Akhil gets =(A/(A+R))*360

=(5/8)*360=5*45=225 kg rice

Rahul gets =(R/(A+R))*360

=(3/8)*360=135 kg rice
