Answer 2

This is a question on ratio.

the total sum is 240.

we want to divide it into three parts.

The ratio of dividing them is as follows :

3 : 5 : 2

The sum of this ratio is :

3 + 5 + 2 = 10.

Therefore :

10 = 240

The parts will be as follows :

3/10 × 240 = 72

5/10 × 240 = 120

2/10 × 240 = 48
