Question

Divide Rs 1,200 among akash and suraj in the ratio of 4:2​

Answer 1

Answer:

4x+2x=1200

6x=1200

x=1200/6

x=200

then,

4x=4(200)=800 is the akashs amount

2x2(200)=400 is surajs amount

Answer 2

Answer:

we have to divide in ratio 4x : 2x, where x is their common factor,

so the total money is = 4x+2x = Rs.1200

=> 6x = 1200

=> x = 1200/6 = Rs. 200

Hence Akash will get 4x = 4×200 = Rs 800 and Suraj will get 2x = 2×200 = Rs 400

We could also solve by simplifying the ratio first, i.e, 4:2 = 2:1
