Answer 1

Concept

a part or share of a number in comparison to a whole is known as proportion.

Given

Rs. 1848

Find

we need to divide the given number into 3 parts proportional to 3, 4 and 5

Solution

We have

Rs. 1848

dividing 1848 in 3 parts proportional to 3,4 and 5 simply means dividing it in the ratio 3:4:5.

Thus, we divide 1848 by (3+4+5) or 12

1848/ 12 = 154

Now the 1st share will be = 3*154 = 462

the 2nd share will be = 4*154 = 616

and the 3rd share will be = 5*154 = 770

Thus, the 3 shares of Rs 1848 proportional to 3, 4 and 5 are Rs 462, Rs 616 and Rs 770.
