Answer 2

Answer:

We have to divide 20 pencils between Ram and Mohan in the ratio 3:2

So we have to divide pencils into 3x + 2x equal parts = 5x parts

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

3x = Ram's pencil = 3 x 4 = 12

2x = Mohan's pencil = 2 x 4 = 8

Step-by-step explanation: hope you find this helpful

Ram's = 12

Mohan's = 8
