Answer 2

Given :

• Total Amount = Rs 16800
• Ratio in which the total amount will be divided = 5:7

To Find :

• Divide ₹16800 in the ratio 5:7

Solution :

Let,

• First Part be 5x
• Second Part be 7x

According to the Question :

⟼ 5x + 7x = 16800

⟼ 12x = 16800

⟼ x = 16800/12

⟼ x = 1400

Therefore :

• First Part = 5x = 5 × 1400 = ₹7000
• Second Part = 7x = 7 × 1400 = ₹9800

Hence, Two parts of ₹16800 in the ratio 5:7 is ₹7000 and ₹9800
