Question

Divide RS 120 into two parts in the ratio of 2:3.​

Answer 1

Solution:

Given amount of money = ₹120.00/-

We have to divide the money into two parts in the ratio 2 : 3

This can be done in many ways.

Approach 1:

Let two parts be 2x and 3x. So, sum of these two parts will be ₹120.00/-

So,

→ 2x + 3x = 120

→ 5x = 120

→ x = 120/5

→ x = ₹24

Therefore,

→ 2x = ₹48.00/- and,

→ 3x = ₹72.00/-

★ So, ₹120 on dividing into two parts in the ratio 2 : 3 will be - ₹48 and ₹72. (Process 1)

Approach 2

Ratio = 2 : 3

Sum = 2 + 3 = 5

Therefore,

→ First part = 2/5 × ₹120 = ₹48.00/-

Also,

→ Second part = 3/5 × ₹120 = ₹72.00/-

★ So, ₹120 on dividing into two parts in the ratio 2 : 3 will be - ₹48 and ₹72. (Process 2)

Approach 3:

Ratio = 2 : 3.

Let ₹120.00/- be divided into two parts x and 120 - x

So, their ratio is 2 : 3

→ (120 - x)/x = 2/3

→ 360 - 3x = 2x

→ 5x = 360

→ x = ₹72

So,

→ 120 - x = 120 - 72

→ Other part = ₹48

★ So, ₹120 on dividing into two parts in the ratio 2 : 3 will be - ₹48 and ₹72. (Process 3)

Answer:

• ₹48 and ₹72.
