Question

Divide 3000 in two parts such that the ratio is 31 : 69

Answer 1

Given,

Total Rupees = 3000

Ratio to divide =3:2

Let's begin!!

Let X be the common factor in ratio 3:2

=> Then, the numbers are: 3x and 2x

Also, when we add these two we get 3000

=> 3x+2x = 3000

or, 5x=3000

or,x=600

-

Then the both numbers are :

3x = 3*600 = 1800

2x = 2*600 = 1200
