Hey mate this is your answer

Answer 2

Let the numbers in the ratio 1 : 3 be 1x i.e. x and 3x

The sum = 268


According to the question,

x + 3x = 268

➾ 4x = 268

➾ x = $\dfrac{268}{4}$

➾ x = 67



∴ Dividing 268 in 1st part i.e. x

➾ $\underline{67}$


Dividing 268 in 2nd part i.e. 2x

➾ 3 × 67

➾ $\underline{201}$




Verification :-

x + 3x = 268

➾ 67 + 201 = 268

➾ 268 = 268

∴ LHS = RHS ✔✔
