Answer 2

★ How to do :-

Here, we are given with the total amount in which it should be shared by three people in the ratio of 2:3:5. So, the first person should get only 2 parts, the second person will get 3 parts and the third person will get 5 parts. So, the total part becomes 10 parts. In that, we should divide to them as the ratio has been given. In this question, we can find the answer by the concepts of variables and transportation of numbers from LHS to RHS. So, let's solve!!

$\:$

➤ Solution :-

${\tt \leadsto 7500 = 2:3:5}$

${\tt \leadsto 7500 = 2x + 3x + 5x}$

${\tt \leadsto 7500 = 10x}$

${\tt \leadsto x = \dfrac{7500}{10}}$

${\tt \leadsto \cancel \dfrac{7500}{10} = 750}$

$\:$

Now,

Shares for first person :-

${\tt \leadsto 2x = 2 \times 750}$

${\tt \leadsto Rs \: \: 1500}$

Shares for second person :-

${\tt \leadsto 3x = 3 \times 750}$

${\tt \leadsto Rs \: \: 2250}$

Shares of third person :-

${\tt \leadsto 5x = 5 \times 750}$

${\tt \leadsto Rs \: \: 3750}$

Hence verified !!
