Answer 1

Required Answer:-

Question:

• The amount of ₹1,100 is shared between A and B in the ratio 4 : 7. Find the shares between A and B.

Solution:

➡ Ratio of the shares - 4 : 7

➡ Sum of the ratio = 4 + 7 = 11

Therefore, share of A = 4/11 × ₹1,100 = ₹(4 × 100) = ₹400

Also, share of B = 7/11 × ₹1,100 = ₹(7 × 100) = ₹700

★ Hence, the shares of A and B are ₹400 and ₹700

Alternative method,

Let the shares of A and B are 4x and 7x.

Therefore,

➡ 4x + 7x = 1,100

➡ 11x = 1,100

➡ x = 100

So,

1. 4x = ₹400
2. 7x = ₹700

Thus, the shares of A and B are ₹400 and ₹700

Answer:

• The shares of A and B are ₹400 and ₹700.
