Question

divide 20 pens between Sheela and Sangeeta in the ratio of 3,2​

Answer 1

ratio is 3: 2

sum of ratio is 3+ 2 = 6

Sheela = 20 x 3/6 so it will be rs. 10

Sangeetha = 20 x 2/6= 6.6 so on

Answer 2

Correct Question

Divide 20 pens between Sheela and sangeeta in the ratio of 3:2.

Solution

$\: ⇢$Ratio between Sheela and sangeeta = 3:2

$\: ⇢$Total these terms = 3 + 2 = 5

$\: ⇢$Therefore,the part of sheela = $\sf{ \dfrac{3}{5}}$ of the total pens

$\: ⇢$And the part of sangeeta = $\sf{ \dfrac{2}{5}}$

$\: ⇢$Thus,Sheela gets $\sf{3/{ { \cancel{5}}}} \times 20 = 12 \: pens$

$\sf{and \: sangeeta \: gets \: \: 2/{ { \cancel{5}}}} \times 20 = 8 \: pens.$
