Question

Divide 4800 betweensheema and varun in the ratio of 3:5

Answer 1

Required Answer :

Here, we are asked to divide 4800 between Sheema and Varun in the ratio of 3:5. As their share are in ratio of 3:5, so we'll assume the share of Sheema as 3x and the share of Varun as 5x.

⇒ Sheema's share = 3x

⇒ Varun's share = 5x

As they are divided between two person (Sheema and Varun), so the sum of the share of Sheema and Varun will be equal to the total amount, that is 4800.

$\longrightarrow$ Sheema's share + Varun's share = Total amount

$\longrightarrow$ 3x + 5x = 4800

$\longrightarrow$ 8x = 4800

$\longrightarrow$ x = $\sf { \cancel { \dfrac{4800}{8} }}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \red { x = 600}$

Therefore,

⇒ Sheema's share = 3x

⇒ Sheema's share = 3(600)

⇒ Sheema's share = 1800

And,

⇒ Varun's share = 5x

⇒ Varun's share = 5(600)

⇒ Varun's share = 3000

Henceforth, Sheema's share is 1800 and Varun's share is 3000.
