Question

an amount of 108 shared by p and q in the ratio 4:5 .the share of p and q will be

Answer 1

The amount that P gets out of 108 = 4/(4 + 5) * 108

                                                               = 4/9 * 108

                                                               = 4 * 12

=> The amount that P gets out of 108 = Rs.48

The amount that Q gets out of 108 = 5/(4 + 5) * 108

                                                               = 5/9 * 108

                                                               = 5 * 12

=> The amount that Q gets out of 108 = Rs.60

Answer 2

Hello Dear.

Let the Shares of p and q be 4x and 5x respectively.

Total Amount = Rs. 108

∴ 4x + 5x = 108
⇒ 9x = 108
⇒ x = 12

Now, P's Shares = 4x
  = 4 × 12
  = Rs. 48

Q's Shares = 5x
 = 5 × 12
 = Rs. 60

∴ Shares of P and Q is Rs.48 and Rs. 60 Respectively.


Hope it helps.
