Question

Divide Rs 100 in the ratio 3:2 between Riya and Siya.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A sum of money divided among Riya and Siya in the ratio $3:2$ .

Then Riya got $60$rupees

and Siya got $40$ rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to divide a sum of hundred rupees among Riya and Siya in the ratio $3:2$ .Ratios are the proportion of each one got separately, so if the ratio of division is given, we are able to calculate how the money is distributed among them.

It can be done in two ways;

Riya's share $=100*\frac{3}{5} =60$ rupees

Siya's share $=100*\frac{2}{5} =40$ rupees.

On the other way,

The sum of money Riya got $=3x$

and the sum of money Siya got $=2x$

The total sum of money $100=3x+2x=5x$

Therefore $x=100/5=20$

Thus Riya got $3x=3*20=60$ rupees

Siya got  $2x=2*20=40$ rupees .

Hence the answer.
