Question

Anu and tanu share Rs 20 in the ratio 2:3. What is their individual share

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 8, Rs 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Anu and Tanu shared an amount of Rs 20 in the ratio of 2 : 3.

It means if Anu had got 2 then Tanu had got 3, if Anu had got 4 then Tanu had got 6 so on.

So let the share of Anu be 2a and Tanu be 3a.

Here, they divided the total amount of Rs 20. So their amounts sum must be Rs 20.

⇒ Tanu's amount + Anu's amount = Rs 20

⇒ 2a + 3a = Rs 20

⇒ 5a = Rs 20

⇒ a = Rs 4

Hence,

 Anu's amount is 2( Rs 4 ) = Rs 8

 Tanu's amount is 3( Rs 4 ) = Rs 12

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution

Amount of share between anu and tanu = 20

Ratio of share = 2:3

Now

$= = > 2x + 3x = 20 \\ = = > 5x = 20 \\ = = > x = \frac{20}{5} = 4$

Hence the value of x = 4

$= = > 2x = 2 \times 4 = 8 \\ = = > 3x = 3 \times 4 = 12$

Hence Anu has Rs 8 and tanu has RS 12
